Abraham doubted God’s promise to provide him and his wife with a son. Then, he decided to have a child with another woman just in case God didn’t come through.

But that’s not what Romans 4 says about Abraham! God tells us through the Apostle Paul that Abraham did not waver in unbelief, grew strong in his faith, and was fully assured.

Are you kidding me? I find that interesting, to say the least, don’t you? Why would God describe Abraham in this way, leaving out his biggest failure and even showcasing his faith?

I think you’re going to love the answer, because it’s a beautiful reminder of how God sees you even in the midst of failure.

Is the heart the same as the spirit? I hear voices that make some blasphemous statements against the Spirit. Then I wonder: Have I committed the unforgivable sin? What if I don't see enough evidence of the fruit of the Spirit in my life?
