Is it hard for you to make decisions without knowing some aspect of what’s going to happen next? Consider what God asked Abraham to do:
- Leave his support system, church, and extended family behind without any clear understanding of what the experience would be like; and
- Sacrifice one of his children.
And, God found Abraham faithful.
When the writers of Scripture wanted a model of faith, their eyes almost always turned to Abraham. In fact, he occupies nearly half the space in our “Faith” chapter (Hebrews 11). Other men and women lived lives of impressive faith, but no one’s faith is celebrated like Abraham’s.
Abraham is the greatest hero of faith before Jesus and “the father of all who believe” (Romans 4:11)—who should be celebrated this Father’s Day!
