Abraham was saved not by works but through faith alone. It’s called saving faith and is the instrument whereby God declares his people righteous and forgiven of their sins — justified.

We’ll see three points on saving faith in the text:

1. Saving faith trusts God’s word, not our sight. V18
2. Saving faith can grow stronger resulting in worship as we consider our weakness, V19-21
3. Saving faith’s only object must be the risen Jesus. V23-25
