Abraham had built a strong, personal, trusting relationship with Jehovah over many years. He rejected any doubts that might have weakened that relationship.

(Verse 20) "Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. ..." But God's promises to Christians is to forgive our sins, and take us to heaven. It is not temporal and physical, as many believe. Nor is it faith in our ability to force God to grant our earthly wishes. This is more along the lines of magic and mysticism.

The point is, Abraham believed only what God told him. And he has told us, under the New Covenant, that he will save us from death. This was accomplished by his dying on the cross in our place. This is what we put our faith in, not something we made up or something we dreamed about. That is just wishful thinking. In other words, we place our faith in Jesus to save us, not in our own abilities to make this evil world a better place.

But the main point of Paul's writings is, Abraham believed in and followed Jesus before the law was given to us, that is, without the law. And so it is with us; meaning, that for the Christian, the law's administration over us ended when Christ died. Now we live by faith!

Abraham Believed God...that is faith. When we by Faith Take God at His Word..we are giving the Glory to God. He tells us We walk by faith, not by sight in 2 Corinthians 5:7KJV. He did not falter, He did not stumble upon the fact that God the Father Told Abraham the Promise (Genesis 12:1-3KJV) and Abraham merely Obeyed. see also Romans 10:17KJV...Faith comes by hearing God's Word, not man's. If we all could be like Abraham in our own lives...Walking by Faith, by newness of life.
