Do You Have Faith in God?

"Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?” (James 2:21)

Abraham has been called the father of the faithful. When God instructed him to go to Moriah and offer Isaac as a sacrifice, that was the greatest test Abraham would ever face. According to Hebrews 11:17-19, he had the faith necessary to believe God would raise Isaac from the dead. God would allow Abraham see if his faith would produce works. Every generation since then has seen the depth and reality of Abraham’s faith.

Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works…? (James 2:25) Find her story here, and in Joshua 2:1-24 and Hebrews 11:31

In his book, “The Power of Positive Praying,” Pastor John Bisagno, of Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas told about his five year old daughter asking him to build her a doll house. He said, “Yes,” and went about his studies until he looked out his study window and saw his precious daughter taking all her dolls, baby buggy, tea pots, cups and saucers and stuffed animals and placing them where he had promised to build her doll house. He stopped everything, went to the lumber yard, got needed supplies for the doll house and started building. She was acting on the faith she had in her father. He was acting on the promise he had made to her and on her faith in him.
