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.”
