Faith of Abram being admitted by God.

2

Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

[NIV] Genesis 15:6

3

Dear everybody, what is the nickname of Abram?

Yes, It is father of faith.

There were reasons why Abram was being called with this name.

4

There was a time Abram heard that his nephew Lot was captured and rescued him bringing 318 armies with him. Secretly he attacked them at night and rescued Lot.

5

After that happened Abram was worried that they will attack him.

Abram¡¯s heart was greatly toiled and felt lonely especially

because he didn¡¯t have a son.

6

God appeared to Abram in his vision someday after the happening.

¡°Don¡¯t be afraid Abram. I will be your shield and give you very great

reward so do not worry.¡±

7

Abram said to God upon listening to God¡¯s word.

¡°God I am childless and becoming old.

There is Eliezer in our house who is loyal to me, Eliezer will be my heir

and I will hand over all my belongings¡±

8

Upon hearing this words God told Abram.

¡°Eliezer will not be your heir. Man coming from your own body

will become your heir.¡±

9

God lead Abram outside of the tent.

Abram went outside as God lead him

10

And God spoken to Abram.

¡°Look up at the heaven. If you can count the number of the stars, count it.

 So shall your offspring be like the number of the stars.¡±

11

Abram got a great faith while looking the stars.

¡°God who created those countless stars can give me offspring even

I am old if he wishes to give.¡±

In his heart, Abram was able to believe those words of God undoubtedly.

12

God saw Abram¡¯s heart and he saw the faith believing God.

And had a big covenant on Abram.

13

¡°Abram I¡¯m the God who lead you out of Chaldean¡¯s Ur.

 I lead you out to give this land of Canaan to you. I will give this land to you.¡± Chaldean¡¯s Ur is Abram¡¯s native place.

God led Abram from that place until Canaan.

14

Abram needed what promises can God give him.

¡°Please show me that words of God are fulfilled as

He says for me to know evidently.

15

God heard Abram¡¯s saying and told Abram to prepare a sacrifice.

And that night God appeared personally and passed in the middle

of the sacrifice.

God passed in the middle of the sacrifice like a burning torchlight.

16

This was a promise of God to Abram that He will keep all

the promise between Abram.

And God kept all the promise with Abram without omitting even one.

17

God was glad upon seeing Abram¡¯s faith.Like Abram, we should also believe that God doesn¡¯t have impossibility and he makes all things possible and live righteously at front of God and if we do so, God will give us precious promise and fulfill them like Abram having promised by God through his faith admitted by God.
