TOPIC:
ABRAHAM, THE FATHER OF FAITH
TEXT:
GENESIS 12:1-3
Key verse: Galatians
3:9 So then
they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
From our
reading text you can see that the Lord chose Abraham. I am tracing the origin
of Christianity. The Lord chose Abraham, who was barren and had no children.
The Lord said, [paraphrase], “Don’t worry about your wife, I am bringing you up
to be a great nation, the mighty shall come of you. Now through you shall be
born one, who will be a blessing to all the people in the world.” God made a
promise to Abraham, “Jesus will be coming through you, which is the seed I
promise in the garden. I told the devil in the garden he is coming to destroy him
and free mankind from him. I will pass that child through you.” Now, you
can see that Christianity started in the garden. It was following a lineage
which was gradually unfolding. When God promised Abraham, I am going to give
you a seed and by that seed multitude shall come to the world, Ishmael was
already born.
There are
many religions on the earth created by men in an attempt to reach out to God. Christianity
has been existing side by side with these other religions. In a family, there could
a mix of Muslim and Christian faith. There could also be people of other
religions including the traditional religions and all of them will be saying,
“We are serving the same God.” It is my responsibility as a preacher of Christ,
sent to preach the gospel of salvation, the gospel of righteousness and eternal
life, to tell you the truth and the difference. Christianity is distinct from
all other religions. Unlike other religions, it started by a promise God made
to the devil, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed
and her seed, it shall bruise thin head and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
Genesis 3:15. This is where Christianity started from, at the very
beginning, even between Adam and his wife Eve; the promise that there shall be
Christianity.
Thought
for the day: If you walk by faith you will enjoy the peace of God.
Song for the day: Faith of our fathers living still
