A Pattern For Faith

How does God reveal in his will the truth of salvation? By grace alone, through faith alone, and in the work of Christ alone. Faith is the activity whereby we receive all of God's promises. Personal salvation is the gift of God and it must be received by us through the empty hands of faith.

Abraham is the pattern of belief.

1. Abraham's faith was personal

2. Abraham's faith was practiced

3. Abraham's faith persevered

We must examine ourselves against this pattern of Abraham's belief.
