ABRAM: A PIONEER IN FAITH LESSON TEXT—Genesis 12:1-9; Hebrews 11:8-12. GOLDEN TEXT—Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.—Genesis 15:1. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). The oppo site is also true, hamely, that faith always pleases God. As we read the Bible and consider Christian experience, it is evident that God is constantly longing tc sho Himself strong in behalf of them who be lieve |Him (II Chron. 16:9). Abraham was not the first man to walk by faith. Before him came such men as Abel, with his accept able sacrifice; Enoch, with his walk pleasing to God; Noah, who believed and obeyed; and others. But Abraham was nonetheless a pioneer of faith. He had many other noble characteristics, and was a man of such distinction that his memory is venerated by Jews and Mohammedans as well as Chris tians. Yet his real claim to an out standing place in history is that by faith he responded to God’s sov ereign act in choosing him to begin a new nation, to be His chosen peo ple. We note two important points about faith: I. Faith Makes Demands. In the very nature of things, faith calls for action consistent with be lief. “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:20), that is, not a real faith at all. In Abraham’s life (and in our life) faith calls for 1. Separation (Gen. 12:1). “Get thee out” was God’s com mand to Abraham. To accomplish His divine purpose God had to take him out of the heathendom of his fathers, and start anew. It is His command to His followers today, “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord” (II Cor. 6:17). Who will doubt that this is the crying need of the church today, for instead of the church being in the world seeking to win it to Christ, worldliness has come into the church and devitalized its message. 2. Obedience (Gen. 12:4-6; Heb. 11:8, 9). “Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken” (v. 4). He didn’t know where he was going, but he did know who had called him, and he went. Faith knows God, and obeys Him without hesitation and without res ervation. Obedience is a virtue that needs to be revived, in the home, in school, in society, and especially in our re lation to God, for there surely should be no disobedient children in the family of God. He merits and ex pects obedience. 3. Trust (Gen. 12:7-9; Heb. 11: 10). An assured reliance on the Word of God is a part of faith. God made a promise to Abraham. He accepted it, and worshiped. Here was no questioning, no bargaining, but simple trust in God’s word. In fact, there was anticipation of even greater things to come (Heb. 11: 10). We need men of vision and that means we need men who by faith can see the unseen, who can see “a city which hath foundations” even in the midst of destruction and disor der. “In God We Trust” must be more than a motto on our coins if America is to survive. II. Faith Brings Resnlts. The world wants to know if a thing works before accepting and approving it. Well, faith really does work! It brings 1. Blessing (Gen. 12:2, 3). God is always on the giving hand. “I will bless,” was His word to Abraham, not only for Abraham himself and for the great nation of which he was to be the father, but to “all the families of the earth” (v. 3). How gloriously that promise was fulfilled in the coming of Christ our Redeemer, who also was a “son of Abraham” (Matt. 1:1). 2. Protection (Gen. 12:3). “I will curse him that curseth thee.” That promise to Abraham is still binding and valid. God is not through with Israel. The nations and persons who have vented their hatred upon the children of Abra ham need to take notice. We need to be reminded that God’s protecting care is just as sure over us who bear His name. We'too are “safe in Jehovah's keeping,” even in what is perhaps the darkest hour in the history of the world. Faith in God brings to us the protection of His almighty hand. 3. Fulfillment of Promise (Heb. 11:11, 12). The entire promise to Abraham hinged on the birth of a son, some thing which was, humanly speaking, beyond all possibility. But because Sara, joining Abraham in believing God, “judged him faithful who had promised,” it came to pass. “With God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26). He delights in doing the impossible in response to the faith of His children. Apart from that fact we might be fearful, yes despondent, but “with God” we say again, “All things are possible.” CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT RAZOR BLADES KENT BLADES Umgto or Ooefbl* The Outstanding Blade Value UOUSEHOLD IriTS A stiff wire brush is a great aid in keeping the burners of a gas or electric stove free from crumbs. • • • Oven pre-heating for short bak ing jobs wastes heat.
