blessed through you.

true believing is obedience.

--Hebrews 11:1
*Faith and obedience goes together

James 2:21Was not our father Abraham


considered righteous for what he did when
he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You

you.

do what he had promised. 22This is why
it was credited to him as
righteousness.

my ways higher than your
waysand my thoughts than
your thoughts.
