Abraham’s faith led him to the
one true God. Once he became convinced that there is one
true God, he changed his
lifestyle and his behaviors to honor God and to fulfill
his holy calling. Those people who want believers to
follow the Mosaic law,
try to convince us today, as in Paul’s time, that we are
not saved and righteous unless we obey every word of the
law. They
do not understand that righteousness and our
relationship with God do not depend on following the
law. Instead our salvation
and righteousness come to us by the grace and
justification of God which He gives to us through our
belief and faith in Jesus
Christ. There are no works or behaviors that we can
initiate to save ourselves, including the following of
the law. No human is
able to keep the law on his own. Instead, our Father
sent His Son, Jesus, to save us, because He is the
fulfillment of all the
law. Abraham is a true example of righteousness and
salvation imputed to him by God, long before the law was
even given to
the Israelites. Through your faith seek the Lord and He
will be found. The Lord will give unto you more faith to
put to work in
your relationship with Him and to fulfill your holy
calling.
