Faith Then and Now.

Let’s talk about faith—not just the kind that gets you through a hard Monday, but the kind that moves mountains, builds nations, and raises the dead. Yep, that kind of faith.

If you’ve ever read about Abraham, you know his story isn’t just inspiring—it’s wild. God told this man, already old and childless, that he would become the father of many nations (Genesis 17:4-5). Abraham believed God, and that faith was counted to him as righteousness (Romans 4:3). No GPS, no physical evidence, no contract—just a promise and a heart that chose to trust.

That’s huge.

Abraham’s faith was pioneering. He believed in what he could not see, and he walked in obedience even when it didn’t make sense. That’s why he’s called the father of faith.

But here’s where it gets even more beautiful.

We’ve received something even better.

We live after the cross. After the resurrection. After the victory. The Bible says we’ve been given the measure of faith (Romans 12:3)—we’re not trying to earn it or build it up from scratch. It’s already in us, because we are in Christ.

Galatians 2:20 says,

“The life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Wait—whose faith?

Not just our own struggling, doubting, questioning faith—but His faith.

We’ve been given access to Jesus’ perfect, unshakable faith. That’s grace. That’s inheritance.

Let that sink in for a second:

• Abraham believed a promise.

• We believe a finished work.

• He looked ahead to what would be done.

• We look back at what has already been done.

• He trusted the God of the covenant.

• We trust the God who fulfilled the covenant in Jesus.

Faith isn’t something you have to strive to get. It’s already been placed inside of you when you received Jesus. It just needs to be awakened, exercised, and spoken.

Jesus said,

“Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart… he will have whatever he says.” (Mark 11:22-24)

This kind of faith isn’t passive. It speaks. It acts. It agrees with Heaven.

So yes, Abraham’s faith was beautiful, strong, and world-changing. But don’t forget—you have been given something even more powerful: resurrection faith, living inside of you through the Holy Spirit.

You don’t need to beg for faith.

You need to believe you already have it.

Let your faith speak. Let it move. Let it partner with the promises of God—because through Jesus, you’re not just hoping for the blessing, you’re living in it.
