The Miracle Table: REDISCOVERING THE POWER OF COMMUNION

by Andrew Murray

As he believed God, the Bible says that the Lord credited righteousness to Abram, (v6). His actions of belief in the promises of God were enough for him to be declared righteous in the eyes of God. We might call this “saving faith”. It is this type of faith that all Christians have – we have believed in Jesus and been made righteous. However, despite believing in God and being declared righteous, Abram still had not received the manifestation of the promise of God. That would take place many years later as God took Abram on a journey of faith and trust. His initial acknowledgment of belief was simply the starting point in a life of faith. So for us our initial belief in Christ is simply the start of our faith journey. We are called to grow and increase in faith, to go from one level of faith to the next, until we’re walking in the kind of faith that truly takes hold of and receives the promises that God has given us.
