Double-Edged Promise

In light of God’s reckoning the man as righteous, Abram is in a position to ask God for a sign. Not out of doubt or disbelief, but for a strength and posterity. Placing Abram in a trance, God reveals to the Patriarch His double-edged Word. God starts with the bad news and then moves to a three-part good news. God ratifies this promise with two images, one of a smoking oven and the other of a touch, passing between the sacrifice. These signs point to the promise repeated by God, this time with the expansive reach of His people. 
Genesis 15:9-21

    About the series

    The Book of Genesis is the starting point of God’s covenant with His people. This book gives us the historical sketch of the creation, fall, and redemption of the world. Genesis is also a perfect litmus test to gauge whether or not a person fully trusts in the authority, sufficiency, and inerrancy of Scripture.
