That with faith we can be found righteous by GOD. Even when we have not lived up to GODS standards and his commandments.Faith comes by spending time with HIM.
Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Genesis 15 - 10 years ago
Hello X I understand how you feel about what is going on in Ferguson, Missouri. It is a shame that after all of these years we are still fighting for the basic of rights. However, if you are saved, truly saved then you will exodus out of here. Following Acts 2 38 not only allows one to put on the name of Jesus Christ, but it gives people the power to go up when the rapture takes place. The beauty part about this is that not only will Black people exodus out but other ethnic groups who have followed Acts 2 38. When you read Acts 2 39 it does not put a time limit on the effectiveness of the promise nor does it limit to a certain group of people. This promise if for both Jew and Gentiles and if you are not born a Jew then you are a Gentile no matter what color you are.
WE THE BLACK RACE IN AMERICA WILL EXODUS SOON. FERGUSON IS THE3 SPARK WITH MORE TO COME UNTIL LIGHTENING FROM ABOVE WILL CAUSE US TO WAKE UP AND GO BACK UNTO OUR FATHER GOD!
I was also caught by this believing in what God says as righteousness. So doing right is not righteousness,and going to church is not righteousness.THIS IS AMAZING. ALL OUR DOING GOOD WORKS MEANS NOTHING,BUT GOD BEING GOD. JUST REQUIRES THAT WE BELIEVE IN HIM,HIS WORD.THIS IS PRAISE WORTHY.
I do believe this word of God to Abraham which he believed was the greatest faith have found in the scripture till now. I know faith is the force that moves God. His love is incomparable and indisputable.
God alone sees the end from the beginning and nothing can take God by surprise. It is like a film producer who knows how the script will end. If you have never watched the film, you will be 'tensed ' during the film as you do not know the outcome. Not so with God as He is the Omniscient knows all things and works everything out for His Glory. He knew that Israel would be under Egyptian bondage for 400 yrs. He knew that the wicked Hitler will kill over 6 million Jews during the holocaust. He knew that many nations will gather against Israel but HE IS FULLY IN CONTROL and none of His promises for the nation of Israel and for Christians will fail. He does not sleep nor slumber and He alone can kill and make alive I samuel 2 6 . If God wants to use you, He will pass you through fire to purify and cleanse you as He will never share His Glory with man! Today, Egypt cannot match Israel in economic or military power! Let us walk with God and trust Him with our lives as Abraham did.
Genesis 15 vs 6 Powerful verse, Abraham believed God, he didn 't question or doubt Him, he looked at the stars and believed God 's promise, that his seed would be as many as the stars, and that touched God, 'and he counted it to him for righteousness this is so heart warming. If we had similar faith or even as small as a mustard seed and believed God, He would still be pleased with us like He did to our father of faith Abraham. Am so encouraged by this verse.
Gen.15 12 16 this is possibly why our dreams from God are in part.When we learn what our dream and direction from God means, then we are ready for that season of our life.
God 's forgiveness is always accompanied with special grace, God confirmed to have given to Abraham and his seed the land of cannan, and when David was forgiven of his sin of numbering the people, God gave him a specific command " Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite ", Forgiveness and favour!
I believe God would not find much Joy on Eleazer Abraham 's servant Although Eleazer was a faithful servant to his lord , but God wanted Abraham seed, something that was connected to Abraham his chosen to be his heir. God our fathers served you and you attended their deep fears...Remember me also in Jesus name!
Bruce (not almighty) on Genesis 15:5 - 11 years ago
OK, I know that Morgan Freeman is Atheist but... picture him when you read the interaction. Abraham isn 't the dimmest bulb on the planet but he 's not the brightest either. Much like Bruce. Give God the credit, and perhaps he had attitude when he said this to Abraham, "You will still be counting when you die before you can count the number of stars or your offspring! " So are we good Abe? See if God, our loving God is truly God then he has surely earned the right to have a little fun and attitude with our dumb asses! My God is an Awesome God and He blows our puny awarenesses away. We will never be able to comprehend the mind of God, we 're not built that way. But the simple things will confound the wise...
I believe that God is saying to us that in spite of all that the enemy darts he will protect us and even though we can t see away out with our natural eyes with him all things are possible only if we believe
If you look at this verse very carefully its talking about how if we look up at the stars we can't count them all. So therefore God is telling Abraham that even after his death his family will continue (the Israelites) Jeff as long as God allows humans to exist we will exist. Yes we will be judged one day for what we have done, but if were christians we will only be judged by the things we do since we got saved and those that are not saved will be judged for the things that they do and in determination whether they go to hell or not. which if their not saved they are going to hell
Nataleigh - another commentary explains it like this: The Sun of Righteousness is Jesus Christ and it is in reference to the millenial reign of Christ after the anti-christ has been done away with. In Jeremiah he references Jesus as our Righteousness and in other passages Jesus is referred to as our sunrise.
God’s desire has always been to provide righteousness to those who trust Him (e.g., Genesis 15:6). On some occasions, God’s people were said to be “clothed in righteousness” ( Job 29:14; Psalm 132:9; Isaiah 61:10), and here in Malachi 4:2 God’s people will see the Sun of Righteousness Himself rising over the world. It’s a picture of the future millennial reign of Jesus Christ. The darkness of the Antichrist’s reign will vanish, and the light of God will take its place. It’s a new day dawning; God’s people will revel in their freedom like gamboling calves leaping from their stalls ( Isaiah 65:17-25; Hosea 14:4-7; Amos 9:13-15; Zephaniah 3:19-20).
I hope this helps some. Good question though as it invokes one to research the phrase and hence we all learn from it.
Mario that's correct and if you notice 2 of every flesh got on Noah's boat and you can find Cain's people in Genesis 15:17 and even in 1 Chronicles 2:55 where they moved in keeping the books for the Israel. Not a good people as you read from what they did through the word.
Love always gives of itself to its beloved.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..."
The self-giving love of YHWH revealed in Genesis 15:1 appears to be an Old Testament example and precursor of that same sentiment, later clarified in John 3:16. God loves His Chosen people and gives them not just objective blessing from on high. He actually gives them Himself, in order to bless, as any true lover, following His example does.
Promises, before the law of Moses, God instructs Abraham making him a prophet, priest, and father of the faith, and many nations. The foundation of faith is laid for the Stone which the builders would refuse, Jesus Christ will become the head of the corner by the power of the resurrection from the dead. We build our lives on this Stone, as Abraham took action by faith, so we today place the full weight of our faith on The Stone our Lord Jesus Christ which the builders refused, He is the Head of the Church. Only Jesus can give peace to the heart and soul of man, if your angry at the truth it shows your unbelief and rebellion.
Johnkutty, because the hebrews were strangers in the land before they disappeared. They were seed of Abraham but they were not native to land.
The israelis today are not israelities or hebrews but ethnically khazars invading the land. They are jewish because of their creed but not the biblical jews.
It's strange how their zionism (political ideology) uses the bible when it fits and doesn't use the bible when it doesn't fit. In all glory the last verses of this chapter says it's to be shared and that it will be.
God is the same.yesterday, today and forever.
Nothing is too hard for Him.i believe He'll soon bring it to pass. if anyone tries to interfere, that individual, nation or religion will simply become a historical statistic.
The Judgement of Nations? Who will suffer Greater, a free country that rejects the Truth, or a country with leaders that reject the Truth. Also Judgement is good when the Truth is sought and those that find it and are directed by it.
