The Impossible, Made Possible

Romans 4:21 

"And being fully persuaded that, what he had

promised he was able also to perform"

         It was this willingness to take God at his word which put Abraham into a right relationship with Him. The Jewish Rabbis had a saying to which Paul here refers. They said, "What is written of Abraham is written also of his children."  That meant that any promise that God made to Abraham extends to his children also. Therefore, if Abraham's willingness to take God at his word brought him into a right relationship with God, so it will be with us. It is not works of the law, it is this trusting faith which establishes the relationship between God and a man which ought to exist.

        The very essence of Abraham's faith, is he believed that God could make the impossible possible. So long as we believe that everything depends on our efforts, we are bound to be pessimists, for experience has taught the grim lesson that our own efforts can achieve very little. When we realize that it is not our effort but God's grace and power which matter, then we become optimists, because we are bound to believe that with God nothing is impossible. 
        Amen!!
