Most Precious Faith

Genesis 15:6 And he (Abram) believed God; and it was accounted him for righteousness.

Abraham was not justified by faith in Genesis 14 when he believed that God was the Most High God, the Possessor of heaven and earth. God did not count that kind of faith to him as righteousness. What kind of faith was it that was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness? It was the faith that believed that God was able to work something into him to bring forth the seed. (15:5-6) Believing that God will supply our daily needs, our daily food, health, healing, a good job, or a promotion, is good, but it is not the kind of faith that is dear and precious in the eyes of God. What kind of faith is precious in God's sight? The faith that believes that He is able to work Himself into us to bring forth Christ. In Genesis 15 Abraham did not believe that God would give him bread and butter, cattle, or more servants. He believed that God was able to work something into him and bring forth a seed, Christ. (Gal 3:16)
