The Beginning and Meaning of Everything that Matters
No. 43 | COVENANT—Abraham, pt. 14
Genesis 24:1-67
Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac in faith.
- Faith acts in practical ways based upon the promises of God.
- Faith acts in practical ways refusing to act inconsistent with God’s word.
- Faith acts in practical ways trusting in the providential guidance of God.
- Faith acts in practical ways avoiding to obligate God to act a certain way.
We may err…
…by knowing God’s word, but not acting by faith in keeping with it
…by acting (we presume) by faith, but not actually knowing God’s word
…by wanting God’s guidance, but not actually moving in His way
…by moving (we presume) in His way, but not with any sort of guidance
