After passing through a long process, Abraham was prepared and qualified to be the friend of God, one who lives in intimate fellowship with God and one to whom God opens what is on His heart for him to intercede (see Gen. 18). God has something in heart to do and He needs a friend […]
Abraham Believed Jehovah, and He accounted it to him as Righteousness (Gen. 15:6)
Have you ever wondered why did God account Abraham’s believing as righteousness (Gen. 15:6)? What does it mean to be “accounted to him as righteousness”? What is righteousness?
