Abraham and You
Dearly beloved of God, Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief; he was strong in believing, giving glory to God, and being fully persuaded that what He God had promised, He was able also to perform.
Abraham was as human as we are. If there was a difference between him and any other person, it was that he did not stagger at the promise of God. He did not doubt or waver; he was convinced beyond a shadow of doubt. He was fully persuaded that what God promised, God was able to perform.
“Abraham believed God, and it [his believing God] was accounted to him for righteousness.” Romans 4:3
He did not waver between two opinions; God’s Word was God’s Will as far as Abraham was concerned. He was fully persuaded.
When we do not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief, we are fully persuaded, we are convinced beyond any shadow of doubt. “It is written” settles the Will of God as far as we are concerned.
What God addressed to us in the scriptures, He meant, and since He meant what He said, He is equally able to perform it, also. God is able and willing to perform every Word He has spoken.
Do not stagger at the promise of God in unbelief, dearly beloved, be fully persuaded and believe God at His Word.
We walk with God by believing, by believing what He says. As we believe God, He will account our believing for justness as He did for Abraham. God had this written so that we can learn this vital lesson.
We believe God at His Word, and He accounts what He has promised to us. This is how God works so that it might be by His grace and not by our works.
God is glorified as He performs what He has promised. We live unto the praise of His glory as we walk by believing Him.
