*Our Father Abraham*
*Utawala** Baptist Church*
*28-01-07*
*Scripture reading Hebrews 11:8-10 *
Definitions:
Grace getting what you do not deserve.
Mercy not getting what you do deserve.
Faith According to the simplest conception of it, faith is a personal confidence in God.[1]
*Hebrews 11:1** *
*Ephesians 2:2-9*
Salvation is by the grace of God
Obtained by faith in the promises of God and the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Applied by the Holy Spirit
We are saved by grace
Kept by grace received by simple faith in the Word of the Living God.
Very Simple
No wonder man creates Cults and Sects:
Faith + works
Grace + Works
Works = Human effort
* Ephesians 2:9*
We must be very careful not to add anything to the finished work of Christ.
What is this finished work?
* *
*Genesis 3:15 >>>>>>>>>> John 19:28-30*
* *
*Faith of Abraham*
* *
*Genesis 11:31-32*
Introduced to Abraham
Father of the Faithful
Father of the nation of Israel
Claimed by three faiths:
Jewish
Christian
Muslim
*Prominence of Abraham and descendants*
* *
* *Genesis 1 thru 11
2000 years of human history
At least 20 generations
11 brief chapters ending with 11:30
There were no chapter and verse numbers in the original manuscripts.
* *
* *Genesis 12 thru 50 actually 11:31 – 50.
400 years
Entirely devoted to Abraham
His son Isaac
His grandson Jacob
And His great grandson Joseph
The rest of the OT deals with the history of the nation of Israel that sprang from Abraham always focusing on the coming Messiah.
The rest of the bible focuses on Jesus Christ Abraham’s greater SON directly.
This shows the important place Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph held in revealing God’s plan of salvation.
In the history of these four men we see God’s wonderful plan of redemption.
*Bible Theme*
* *
*SALVATION THROUGH GRACE OBTAINED BY FAITH!*
* *
Bible contains information on many subjects.
These subjects are only introduced to reveal the plan of salvation and their bearing on it.
*Book of Redemption*
* *
Why the importance given to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph?
We must remember why the Bible was written
The Bible is a book of redemption.
God’s plan of redemption had to come through Israel the seed of Abraham.
God in His sovereignty gave us His Word through the Nation of Israel.
God gave us His Son Jesus Christ through the nation of Israel.
*The Holy Spirit devoted only 11 chapters to the first 2000 years of human history.*
* *
* God wastes no time on the past!*
* *
* But speaks almost entirely of the future!*
* *
*Genesis 1:1** only one verse tells us where the world came from.*
* *
*One chapter where we the human beings came from.*
* *
*All the rest of Scripture deals with where we will spend eternity.*
* *
*Natural sinful man is more concerned with the past!*
* *
*Genesis 2:7 **one verse tells us where we came from.*
* *
All God wants us to know about where we came from is in that one verse all the rest of the Bible tells us where we are going wither heaven or hell.
*God clearly wants us to think about the future not dwell in the past!*
*The future is the important issue!*
* *
* Where will you spend eternity?*
Natural man is very interested in the past.
Investigates the origin of the earth with little interest in where it is going.
With all his investigations into astronomy, geology and other sciences what does he learn?
THOUSANDS OF FOOLISH THEORIES OF EVOLUTION.
He writes many books and fills many libraries with these unproven ideas.
No though for his future abode or the one Book the Bible which can tell of these things.
Instead of searching the Scripture for God’s plan he invents his own.
*Bible easier to believe!*
* *
* Genesis 1:1*
* Genesis 1:27*
Easier to believe than the theories of man made science.
*God expects us to believe His Word.
*
* *
* He will not argue with a speck of dust like us.*
* *
How can we question the Creator as if He has to tell us why or how He did what He did?
*IN THE BEGINNING…….
Take it or leave it!*
If we can believe God all alone from the beginning of time spoke the universe into existence from nothing at all and set it moving in order and precision.
If we can believe that we can believe anything HE says!
*Then we can believe:*
* *
* He could part the sea.*
* He could walk on water.*
* He could calm the storm.*
* He could cast out demons.*
* He could change water to wine.*
*He could make a fish swallow a man and release him on land three days later*
* *
*WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH ABRAHAM?*
It shows the reason God gives such prominence to Abraham and his three generations of descendants in the Book of Genesis.
As well as the reason natural sinful man attacks Creation and the Book of Genesis more that any other Book or doctrine in the Bible.
HOUSE AND FOUNDATION!
