That is the question; “to fortify, and refine our understanding of the things of the kingdom of God.”
[Pastor; Eph 1:18]
“There was something unique about Abraham's faith, above Abel, Noah, Moses, and others; that santified him as “the father of the faith.” Because it wasn't the dynamics of the steps (of faith) that Abraham took, but the nature of the promise Abraham received from God, that made his faith special; more so than the promise itself. For the promise was a “Seed,” who was Christ.”
[Pastor; Rom 4:16; Gal 17:7; 3:16]
“Too often, we pervert the dynamics of the kingdom to consume upon our own lust; believing God for everything but Christ; and there is no faith absent of the Lord, Jesus Christ.”
[Pastor]
The subtlty is when we consider believing God, our fleshly minds are riveted on “a result, or outcome,” or blessing;
like, What God can do for us, that we can't do for ourselves; unlike Abraham, whose response to God was to simply obey His voice ...without expectation for a “result, or outcome;” being fully persuaded that what God had promised He was able to perform.
[Pastor; Rom 4:21]
“Abraham believed God (unconditionally).”
