Abram was at a low point in Genesis 13 when the Lord came to him and said, “Lift up now thine eyes” and then to “Arise, walk through the land”. God made a promise to Abram. When Abram acted on God's promise, that faithful obedience was taken as righteousness by God. Romans 4 makes it clear that we are not justified by works but when we "faithe" in God and His word. That faith is accounted unto us as righteousness and we are justified before our Father as if we are Christ. VF-0528. © Copyright 1987
