God declared himself the Almighty God (El Shaddai) to Abraham. He told Abraham this to confirm that he would bring his promised seed through Isaac, Sarah's Son. God declares his blessing upon Abraham. These blessings are given in the Covenant God establishes with Abraham. It's a Covenant of Grace, pictured in circumcision, which God alone does in the heart through the regeneration of the Holy Ghost.

God's faithful Word to us is about the faithful Word, His Son. Being God's children comes not by our lineage or membership, but by Christ Himself, in Whom God's promise has its "Yes" for us and our children and as many as He calls to Himself.

Genesis 18

In this passage we see that Sovereign God has appointed our afflictions for the good of his people. Let that be a comfort to your hearts brethren. Our Sovereign God sent Hagar back to Sarah knowing that she carried a persecutor in her womb. Ishmael pictures dead and false religion that persecutes the Church who declares the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully. Additionally, we are blessed in our tribulations, which minister good to the people of God by the wisdom and power of God. Trust your Lord, for these are appointed afflictions for our good.

God foretold to Abraham that his 90 year old wife Sarai (renamed Sarah) would CONCIEVE and bear a son, their only son, Isaac. The prophecy was fulfilled and it was also a MIRACLE providing a double-evidence for God! Also Reference: Luke 1:47, Psalm 119:160 https://bbfohio.com

Paul shows us the allegory the Spirit is giving us in Genesis 16. God gave the seed by promise, but Abraham turned to the flesh to bring to pass God's promise. Abraham waited not. Like Abraham then, men are turning to the flesh by the Law to bring forth fruit. They are turning from waiting upon the Lord and crying out to him to bring forth his promise of righteousness in us. Instead men submit themselves under a spirit of bondage. The purpose of the Law is to give us the right understanding of sin. God has given his child his Spirit to bring forth the fruit of faith. When we turn to the Law to progressively sanctify ourselves, we are doing exactly what Abraham did in turning to Hagar (the spirit of bondage) to effect the promise of God.

Abraham receives more verses than any other person in Hebrews 11. He is renowned as "the father of all who believe." He was an ordinary man like us, but his faith in God made him live an extraordinary life. Much of our ineffective Christian living is rooted in the weakness of our faith. May we listen to this man's life and grow in faith to experience God's mighty works in our lives.

Abraham's home calling The brevity of Abraham's life The burial of Abraham's body The bogus claim that his descendants made

1 Peter 3:1-7 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel- rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
