Faith Obeys God's Directions
Heb 11:8-10 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
In characterizing Christian faith we find in Romans chapter 4 that Paul used two examples - David and Abraham. The faith that saves is the faith that listens and obeys. The Bible is full of this principle. Even earlier in Hebrews we noted concerning Israel, "And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief." Heb 3:18,19
By faith, when called he went
By faith, he lived as a stranger in this world in anticipation of the kingdom to come
Might this be your epitaph?
