Abraham's Faith and Friendship with GodJames points to Abraham offering Isaac as an example of faith working with works, showing how Abraham was called a friend of God.James 2:21–23
God Shares His Secret with AbrahamBefore destroying Sodom, God questions whether He should hide His plan from Abraham, showing the deep closeness between them.Genesis 18:16–18
Abraham Intercedes for SodomAbraham boldly pleads with God to spare Sodom if righteous people can be found within it, showing care even for oblivious family members like Lot.
Moses Pleads for the PeopleJust like Abraham, Moses interceded for the Israelites worshipping the golden calf rather than accepting God's offer to destroy them.
Choosing Intercession Over AccusationInstead of condemning a broken world, believers are called to follow Christ and intercede for those who do not yet know the condition of their souls.
Reckoning Ourselves Dead in Romans 6A turning point for many Christians is learning to reckon themselves dead to sin and alive to God through baptism into Christ.Romans 6:11
Applying the Truth of Christ's DeathBecause we died with Christ when he was crucified, we can declare that sin has no power over us whenever temptation arises.
Jesus Numbered with the TransgressorsThe word for reckon connects to scripture showing how Jesus was numbered with the transgressors on the cross.Mark 15:28
The Holy Spirit's Perspective on the CrossWhile we reckon ourselves dead to sin, the Holy Spirit reckons that Jesus chose to become sin and take our full wrath on Himself.
A Double Blow to TemptationKnowing both that our old man died with Christ and that Jesus bore our wrath brings tenderness to the conscience and defeats temptation.
