[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 4793596, member: 65823"] [JUSTIFY]Abraham not only believed IN God, in the sense of believing that God is the only true God, he BELIEVED GOD and was willing to submit his life to the will of God. He manifested his faith in his obedience and trusted God to fulfill his promises. Abrahams faith that was accounted for righteousness wasn't some mental accent and do nothing dead faith. Hebrews says, "By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went" -- Look at this faith ---Uh-oh there that word you said I added... Obey[/JUSTIFY] Paul in Romans says of Abraham, "And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb; yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able to perform" (Rom. 4:19-21). [JUSTIFY]God commanded Abraham to take Isaac, the son of promise, and offer him as a burnt offering to God (Gen. 22:1-2). Abraham did not hesitate. He got up early in the morning, saddled up, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering and went to the place of which God had told him. When he arrived, he bound Isaac, placed him on the altar, upon the wood, and took the knife to kill his son. The angel of God stopped him and said, "Now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld you son, your only son, from me" (Gen. 22: 12). Abraham, willing to kill his own son? How could he? Because ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD. "By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yes, he that had gladly received the promise was offering up his only begotten son; even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall your seed be called: accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead; from where he did also in a figure receive him back" (Heb. 11:17-19). Abraham believed God He believed that God would fulfill his promise through Isaac, even if it required him to raise Isaac from the dead. The belief that was accounted for righteousness was just believe? No action on Abraham's part? No submission to God's will? Even when he didn't understand, he never hesitated but simply did what God told him. This is the faith that saves. A faith that is alive and active. Seen by what someone does. Seen by obedience to God . Not a, I believe , mental accent , and then a dead do nothing faith. [/JUSTIFY] Not at all. I'm humbled that God allowed me (chief of sinners) to submit to his will in simple obedience and be forgiven. [JUSTIFY][/JUSTIFY] Looks like in just this passage , Abraham would say you're dead wrong. [JUSTIFY] [/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
