“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me].”
â€â€Genesis‬ â€17:1‬ â€AMP‬‬ . Abraham demonstrates one of the greatest examples of faith in the Bible.
He believed against all odds, and he endured in his faith. Abraham’s faith was an obedient, believing faith—a faith that genuinely obeyed and believed God.
Abraham had a decisive, obedient faith. He obeyed, and he went without any directions from God as to where he was headed. When God called, he acted immediately.
He did not hesitate, argue, question, or waver back and forth. He simply obeyed. As soon as he heard the call of God, he arose and followed God; he acted decisively.
Note a significant fact about following God:
Abraham did not know where he was going. He did not know where following God would lead him. He just believed the promises of God; therefore, he acted upon his belief. He believed; therefore, he obeyed.
