Yabelana

He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God. He was fully convinced that what God promised he was also able to do.

(as it is written, “ I have made you the father of many nations ”). He is our father in the presence of God whom he believed – the God who makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do.

He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.

Against hope Abraham believed in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations according to the pronouncement, “ so will your descendants be .”

For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants – not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

“ Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the one against whom the Lord will never count sin .”

For what does the scripture say? “ Abraham believed God , and it was credited to him as righteousness .”
