| You Can Live the Life of Faith The Apostle Paul says that those who believe in Jesus Christ "are children of Abraham." The Old Testament patriarch is our father in the faith, and like him we will be blessed if we believe in the Lord. But what is faith and how can you get it? Warren Wiersbe's expository study of Genesis 12-25, focusing on the life and faith of Abraham, will answer your questions. In a practical and personal way, he explains: • How the life of faith begins • The four tests of true biblical faith • How to have "overcoming faith" as you face life's battles • Why and how God tests your faith • What to do when your faith fails 0.37" H x 7.99" L x 5.42" W (0.39 lbs) 137 pages Publisher: Victor US SRP: $ 10.99 US Pub Date: April 1991 A New Beginning If the other planets are inhabited," quipped George Bernard Shaw, "then they must be using the earth for their insane asylum." We may chuckle at that statement, but it reminds us of a sad fact: The world is in a mess, and it does not seem to be getting any better. What is wrong? It all goes back to events recorded in the Book of Genesis. Except for the account in chapters 1 and 2, the first eleven chapters of Genesis record one failure of man after another, failures that are being repeated today. The first man and woman disobeyed God and were cast out of the Garden (chap. 3). Cain murdered his brother Abel and lied about it (chap. 4). Humanity became so corrupt that God cleansed the earth with a flood (chaps. 6-8). Noah got drunk and exposed himself to his son Ham (chap. 9). In their defiance of God, men built a city and a tower; and God had to send confusion to end the rebellion (chap. 10). Disobedience, murder, deception, drunkenness, nudity, and rebellion sound pretty up-to-date, don't they? If you were God, what would you do with these sinners, men and women you had created in your own image? |
