INSIGHT

Abraham As The Archetype Of Faith

  • C. H. Spurgeon frames Abraham as a type illustrating God's dealings with all heirs of promise.
  • Abraham's separation from idolatry, call, promise, and covenantal oath models how God produces unwavering faith in believers.
ADVICE

Test Yourself Against The Heirs Of Promise

  • Examine yourself against two marks: heirs of promise and those who have fled for refuge.
  • If you lack these marks, plead with God for continued work and fuller self-revealing of Himself.

Promise Not Merit Defines The Heirs
