What was the hope against all hope that Abraham believed?

🗡️ Sermon delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Sunday, July 24, 2022 at 11:15 am. 🗡️

All the way back in Genesis 15 Abraham believed God, yet at the time of his belief NOTHING happened. All God did was make a promise to Abraham.

Abraham gave God the credit for what he didn't do YET, but what God promised to do.

Abraham had a super-natural hope, not a natural hope.

Those weak in faith look at difficulties and problems, instead of God. God doesn't see problems.

Those strong in faith look to God as greater than difficulties and problems.

Abraham's righteousness was NOT the result of his young, healthy, fertile body. The Bible says: "body now dead", regarding Abraham. And refers to the: "deadness of Sara's womb".

The secret to justification by FAITH is really simple: BELIEVE that God can raise the dead.

We are just like Abraham...we can't produce! We are guilty and without hope. But God offers us mercy to save us by His grace.

Just like Abraham couldn't work for Isaac, you and I cannot work for our inheritance.

This sermon based on Romans 4:18-21 looks to bring out how saving faith stands strong believing that God WILL make good of His super-natural promises.
