Talking Things Over:
- Abraham did not have a Bible. How did he know about God’s promises?
- Why are Bible Study, catechism training, and church attendance so important to our faith?
- What does Hebrews 11:17-19 say about Abraham’s trust in God?
- Can a person simply decide to have faith? What does it mean that faith is a gift of God?
Words to Remember:
Faith – the gift of God which lets us know God and trust Him.
Knowledge – We must know what God says in the Bible. Knowing is an important part of our faith.
Infallible – Because the Bible is God’s word, we know that it cannot have any errors or mistakes in it. It can be trusted.
