Episode Synopsis

Rev. Paul J. Miller - Sermon Outline – March 19, 2023
“Believe is an Action Word" - Romans 4:1-12
What does your life reveal about your beliefs?
Abraham
God’s New Identity for Abram (Abraham) - Genesis 12:1-3
Leave……your country
              …your people
              …your father’s household
Become…A great Nation
              …A Great Name
              …A Blessing to All
The Evidence that Abraham Believed God
God said “go”, and he went - Genesis 12:4-9
He gave Lot first choice of land – Genesis 13:8-9
He rescued Lot – Genesis 14:1-16
He refused worldly alliance & honor – Genesis 14:21-24

God’s Response to Abram’s ACTIVE Belief - Genesis 15:1-6
“Don’t be afraid, I am your shield, I am your very great reward”
THIS is when it says…“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Genesis 15:6 & Romans 4:3
Do you believe in God enough to let go of your country, your people, and your family?
Do your alliances (support & security systems) reveal reliance on the ways of God?
Do you seek reward, recognition, and honor from people?

Don’t be afraid, I am your shield, I am your very great reward
