Abraham: Christian prototype
Abraham is referred to in scripture as the friend of God. The testimony of Abraham is a wonderful demonstration of faithfulness, patience and uncompromising obedience. As a result of Abraham’s faith the Lord made many unconditional promises that established the foundation of God’s Great Plan for mankind—with the fundamental one being the promise of the Holy Spirit, which is now available to all because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Abraham laid down a wonderful blueprint of faith for all to ascribe. We do well to take heed to Abraham’s testimony by remaining faithful to the faith of God and doing those things that are well-pleasing to Him.
