ABRAHAM

91
CONCLUSION/SUMMARY
Great men who achieve great things receive attention for their deeds amongst their peers at the time
of their achievements. A few are remembered for a short time following their achievement. Even
fewer have their achievements recorded for history. Then there are a few rare individuals that are
remembered for generations and posterity. Abraham is marked in Holy Scripture as one of its true
heros. Not so much, as we have so vividly seen, because his greatness in and of himself but for his
relationship with his God. Abraham is a testimony for all believers that believing God is indeed a
good and a wise philosophy for time and for eternity.
God is trustworthy. In a world of confusion and instability it is wonderful to know that the Word
of God is absolutely reliable. Abraham’s relationship with God is a testimony to saved and lost
alike, that what God promises He will do. Every promise that God made to Abraham was kept both
during the life of Abraham but also to Abraham’s posterity with more to come.
With the Holy Scripture as a backdrop we watch with anticipation as to when and how God will
bring to fulfillment those aspects of His promises to Abraham that are yet to be fulfilled. We watch
the Middle East wondering what will happen next on God’s timetable. We do not watch wondering
if but when and how God will accomplish His promise to His friend, Abraham.
It is our prayer that we have challenged some to place their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. It is
our prayer that believers have been encouraged to trust God absolutely with no reserve. It is our
great and ultimate prayer that Jesus Christ has been exalted.
May God bless you in your walk of faith in God!
