Episode Synopsis

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. Find out more right here in this compelling look at Abraham from God’s viewpoint. Questions for Romans 4:16-5:1 In what way is Abraham the father of us all? How does verse 17 speak to Creation itself? React to this statement: God views Abraham as never wavering even though he concocted a Plan B. How does verse 25 convey the two main aspects of the Gospel message? What does it mean to you personally to have peace with God?
