This morning we look at Romans 4:16 – 25 that describes Abraham’s faith for us and defines Biblical faith and what it looks like. This is important, because biblical faith can be such a misunderstood word and concept.
We say biblical faith, because there is an unbiblical kind of faith as well. There is a faith that is a cerebral or mental belief with no resulting action or transformation, which is wrongly called faith! “I believe in God”, is what they say, but they fail to follow him. James talks about that kind of belief when he speaks of how the demons also believe and shudder (James 2:19 – 20).
The other unbiblical faith is just faith in itself without Christ as the object of that faith. People in the world says things like, “You just gotta have faith.” Or they talk about being sincere in your faith with no reference to Christ. Sincerity doesn’t save anyone.
Biblical faith is rooted and grounded in a confidence in God and in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
