WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ABRAHAM?

Abraham: A Promise of Faith & Future

(Hebrews 11:8-12)

FAITH

Believes  Romans 4:5 to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,

Follows  Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 

Waits  Hebrews 6:15 “Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

Works James 2:22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works (also Hebrews 11:17-19)

Submits  1 Peter 3:6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

Flows Out of a Blood Relationship

Matthew 1:1 Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

FUTURE

Hope  Hebrews 11:10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. 

Hebrews 6:19-20 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, [20] where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Presence   Matthew 8:11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven

Life  Matthew 22:32 “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

Help  Hebrews 2:16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.

Salvation Luke 19:9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.”
