| Carolsfeld - God Shows Abram the Stars |
This is one of the most powerful statements of faith, ever. Paul uses it in constructing "justification by faith" spelled out in Romans 4.
When has your faith survived when all the evidence is to the contrary?

7 - God's Covenant with Abram
Genesis 15:1-21
God has previously promised Abram descendants, but there are none. Abram challenges God: "You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir." But God again commits: "He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness."
This is one of the most powerful statements of faith, ever. Paul uses it in constructing "justification by faith" spelled out in Romans 4.
