Abraham: The Father of the Faithful

Abraham can be considered the father of all who believe because he had faith even before he was circumcised. Mere national markers do not make someone a part of Abraham’s family. Paul helps us see that truth in Romans as he deals with the nature of the law and justification by faith. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey explains how the law has been fulfilled in Christ and why we ought to model our faith after the faith of Abraham.
