One Big Story
God has the Answer – Part 4
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth…he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else…For in him we LIVE and MOVE and HAVE OUR BEING.” Acts 17:24-28 (NIV)
“The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” Genesis 6:5 (NIV)
How God Cleans Up Messes
Abraham (Genesis 11-15)
1) Through His power and in His timing.
“But Sarai was unable to become pregnant and had no children. One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai, and his grandson Lot and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there.” Genesis 11:30-31 (NLT)
“The LORD had said to Abram, ‘Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.’” Genesis 12:1 (NLT)
2) By keeping His promises.
“I will make you into a GREAT NATION. I will bless you and make YOU FAMOUS, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. ALL THE FAMILIES on earth will be BLESSED through you.” Genesis 12:2-3 (NLT)
“Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL in advance to Abraham: ‘All nations will be blessed through you.’” Galatians 3:8 (NIV)
3) By establishing a relationship based on trust.
“Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, ‘Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!’ And Abram BELIEVED THE LORD, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his FAITH.” Genesis 15:5-6 (NLT)
“We are made right with God by placing our FAITH in Jesus Christ. And this is true for EVERYONE who believes, no matter who we are.” Romans 3:22 (NLT)
