4. Describe the significance of being considered a child of Abraham (cf. Romans 4:1-12; Galatians 3:1-11)? How do those who are not born of the line of Abraham become his children? How do some become disqualified as children of Abraham despite their Jewish connection?

5. What does it mean that Abraham obeyed by faith (Hebrews 11:8)? How did faith enable him to obey the Lord? How did Abraham’s faith concerning the future help him trust the Lord (vs. 16)?

6. How did Sarah’s faith enable her to conceive Isaac? Why do you think God made Sarah wait so long to become pregnant? Why does God sometimes make us wait so long before we experience His work in our lives?
