THE FORCE OF FAITH.

Abraham did not weaken in faith when he considered the impotence of his own body which is as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old or the barrenness of Sarah`s womb. No unbelief or distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God. Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He has promised. That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness. But the words...it was credited to him...were not written for his sake alone but they were written for our sake too. Righteousness will be granted and credited to us who believe in God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
