What shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh has found? Romans 4:1
Abraham had many experiences and conversations with God. He left his home, moved his family, received promises, received circumcision, had a son named Ismael, and a son named Isaac, went to sacrifice Isaac, all on his journey to be the father of the Jewish nation. If we could have interviewed him, what would he says was the #1 thing he learned along the way? I think he would say, "Righteousness is a free gift from God based on our trust in Him. We cannot earn His favor by doing good works." What have we learned along the way? If we haven't learned the same thing, let's start our search again. God has our gift of righteousness reserved for us all.
