– What four principles emerge from the unique example of Abraham and Sarah (vs. 13-16)?
– Abraham’s “legacy of faith” follows in these three Patriarchs:
1. v. 20 – Considering Isaac, is your obedience reluctant or resolute?
2. v. 21 – Of what was Jacob’s staff symbolic?
3. v. 22 – By what was Joseph’s life marked?
– Joseph is an Old Testament example of what New Testament truth?
– That’s a promise you can rely on, too. Are you?
