What was Abraham's faith ? James Ch 2 V 23 , what did Abraham believe ? Genesis Ch 21 V 12 , in Isaac shall thy seed be called . Abraham recieves this promise from God and then what ? God , in Genesis Ch 22 , tells Abraham to offer this very same son , as a sacrifice ! God tells Abraham to kill his own son . Does Abraham hesitate ? No he does not and why not ? Because he believed in God's promise to him , ' in Isaac shall thy seed be called , Hebrews Ch 11 V 17-19 . This , belief in the ressurection , in God's ability to re animate a dead body , this was accounted unto Abraham for righteousness . Why do we have such a hard time believing it ? Shouldn't Abraham's faith be ours also ? God is able to do anything and everything , Romans Ch 6 V 23 . The Gospel is contained in that verse . We all die because we all sin . Those of us who believe in Christ , that he is the Son of God in the same way that Isaac is the son of Abraham , shall be ressurected . Those that don't believe will stay dead . It really is as simple as that , Romans Ch 6 V 23 .
