GENESIS: BELIEVING GOD - Genesis: 15:1-6 - Pastor Jim West


Listen Later

Pastor West explores the foundational story of Abram in Genesis 15 to distinguish between believing in God’s existence and truly trusting His character. He describes a "predictable letdown" that often follows spiritual highs, noting that even great biblical figures experienced vulnerability and despair. By looking to the stars, Abram moved his focus from his own limitations to God’s infinite power and sovereignty. This shift illustrates the core theological principle that righteousness is credited through faith rather than earned through human effort or perfect behavior. He concludes that the imputed righteousness of Christ is a gift received by those who believe God’s promises despite their circumstances. Through this lens, believers are encouraged to find sufficiency in their relationship with the Creator when all other worldly securities fail.
