We arrive to a lesser known yet important part of Abraham’s history as he seeks to live the life of faith. Understand the essence of Abraham’s fight of faith in the rescue of his nephew Lot, and his reaction to the test of prosperity and victory. Reverend Eric Alexander challenges us to put our confidence in God, our Shield and our Defender, in Hear the Word of God.
Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).
