Bible Question: What about Heb 11:8? |
Bible Answer: hum... let me see... OK By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb 11:8 Heb 11:8 happened before Gen 15:4-6 (you know what I mean :) ) If I am correct, Heb 11:8 is referring to Gen 12:1-4 The scriputes don't say it was counted righteousness unto him at this point(Gen 12:1-4). What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom 4:1-5 If Abraham's 'going out' is a work, then rom 4:1-5 says if his work justified him, he has whereof to glory... but not before God. Abraham believed God and it was accounted unto to him for righteousness. That's my understanding. If you have a better insight, please share. :) Abba Father Bless... |
