He never stopped believing what God had promised. Instead, he believed in God more strongly. He gave honour to God. Abraham was sure that God was able to do what he had promised to do.

In the Bible, God said to Abraham, ‘I have chosen you to become the ancestor of many nations of people.’ Abraham believed in God's promise, so God calls him our ancestor. God is the one who causes dead people to become alive again. He speaks about things that are not yet there as if they were already there.

God let people kill Jesus on the cross because of the wrong things that we have done. Then God raised Jesus from death, to show that he would accept us as right with him.

Abraham continued to trust God. He hoped to receive what God had promised. He continued to hope even when he had no good reason to hope. That is why he became the ancestor of many nations. It happened just like God had said: ‘You will have very many descendants.’

So God gives us his promise as a gift, because he is very kind. We receive it when we trust him. If we believe in God like Abraham did, then God accepts us. That is God's promise to all of Abraham's family. If we believe in God, we can call Abraham our ancestor. We can all receive what God has promised. It is not only for those who have Moses' Law to obey.

David says: ‘The people that God has forgiven are truly happy. They have done wrong things, but he has forgiven them. A person is truly happy when the Lord God accepts him. The Lord does not think about that person's sin any more.’

Remember what the Bible tells us. It says: ‘Abraham believed God. As a result, God accepted Abraham as right with him.’
