The words “God accepted Abraham’s faith” were written not only for Abraham.
Everything written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They encourage us and give us hope.
Those things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us. That’s because we are living at the time when God’s work is being completed.
Now those things happened as examples for us. They are supposed to keep us from wanting evil things. The people of Israel wanted these evil things.
