The Bible as a Complete Puzzle
Understanding the Bible involves assembling all its pieces like a puzzle, not just focusing on individual sections. By studying both the Old and New Testaments together, a fuller picture emerges, revealing landscapes and contexts that enhance comprehension.
Biblical Definition of Faith
Biblical faith is not about belief in the quantity of faith but in the truth of its object. True faith is based on knowing the object of faith is reliable and trustworthy. Applying faith in God requires understanding the importance of focusing on Him rather than the concept of faith itself.
Abraham's Faith and Biblical Prophecies
Abraham's faith in offering Isaac as a sacrifice exemplifies complete trust in God's promises, even when faced with a seemingly impossible request. This act foreshadows the sacrificial act of Jesus Christ on Golgotha, illustrating the planned fulfillment of biblical prophecies that demand unwavering faith.
Abraham's faith was deep, obedient, unwavering, and rooted in his trust in God's character and promises. The Christian's faith is founded upon fact, it is not a blind faith. God makes promises to us so that when they are fulfilled, our trust in Him may increase and strengthen our faith. What type of faith defines who you are?
