Continuing on from yesterday Romans 4:17-21; the four things we see in Scripture that Abraham did to obtain the promise mad to him:
!. HE HAD THE PROMISE OF GOD REGARDING THE MATTER; (verse 17) it is important that we have the promise of God regarding our situations. If we do not, we have no basis for faith.
2. HE BELIEVED THE PROMISE THROUGH HIS WORDS AND ACTIONS; (verse 18) Abraham did as God said and changed his name to say “Father of Many Nations,” and Sarah conceived.
3. HE DID NOT CONSIDER THE PROBLEM; (verse 19) Abraham thought on and talked the promise. By doing this he became “FULLY PERSUADED” that what God had promised he was able also to perform.
4. HE GAVE GLORY TO GOD EVEN BEFORE HE SAW THE ANSWER; (VERSE 20) Abraham was so convinced in his heart about the promise, he gave God praise and thanksgiving long before he saw the answer.
These four principles are key to us receiving the promises God has made to us.
