Genesis 15:1-21
God is greater than our circumstances. God had given great promises to
Abraham, yet there appeared no sign that His promises were being
fulfilled. The circumstances seemed bleak, and Abraham felt despondent.
Abraham was full of questions. In verse 2, he asks, 'What can you give
me...?' This is the question of salvation. What does God give? He gives
salvation. In verse 8, he asks, 'How can I know...?'. This is the
question of assurance. We ask for assurance. God gives it - the
assurance of salvation, the assurance that salvation has been given and
received. Where are we to look for answers to these questions? Are we to
look to our circumstances? Are we to look to our feelings? No. We look
to the 'Almighty God' (2,8). Trusting in Christ, the 'Passover
Lamb...sacrificed for us', we receive a sure salvation (6:1; 1
Corinthians 5:7; John 20:31; 1 John 5:13).
