Easter Questions: What does God want from me?

What this episode covers

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[b]  Romans 4:16 3 pictures of a faithful man’s life 1.) Abraham had faith that God  wanted to use Him (Gen 12:1-3) The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”  2. Abraham believed that God kept His Promises (Gen. 18) 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 3.) Abraham believed that God was more powerful than death. (Gen. 22) This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:22 More Good news  of Easter: Even when we are faithless, He remains faithful What does God want from you?  He wants your faith in him.
