The Nature of Faith

That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. - Romans 4:22–24 (ESV) Have you ever doubted your faith? What made you doubt? What did you do with those doubts? Have you ever talked about them? Often in the church we treat doubt with disapproving frown and even scold people for asking questions. Some think this is the right thing to do because we should have solid, sold-out faith. In fact the passage that we are going to look at in Romans this week seems to display Abraham as an example of unfaultering faith. But was he? Didn't he wonder and question? Didn't he even think he needed to help out God to fulfill his promises? So what do we do with that? Join us this week as we explore the nature of saving faith in Romans 4:17-25. Why not take a few minutes before Sunday to read though Romans 4?
