Next on “In Touch,” “The Walk of Faith.
” Dr. Charles Stanley: The title of this message is “The Walk of Faith.” If I should ask you, “Are you walking in faith or are you walking by sight?” how would you answer that? Do you walk according to the will and purpose and plan of God for your life? Or are you just walking, trusting and hoping things will turn out? God wants us to walk, trusting Him for every single thing.
Abraham, for example, of all the people in the Bible, only second–second only to Jesus, is probably one of the most important people in the Bible because there are 14 chapters of scripture about this man, Abraham, alone. And when you look in the Word of God and you begin to see all those chapters and all the things that he did and think about the fact he’s the father of the Jewish race.
And so he’s a very, very important character in the scripture. And he came from a pagan society. And when you think about where he came from and what he did, you think, “Well, there’s hope for me.” There is hope because he came from not only a pagan society, but he probably was an idol worshiper. And somebody says, “Well, why would God choose somebody like that?” God makes choices based on His wisdom, not on how we see things.
