Now I want to talk to you this morning about God, a covenant, and the contradiction.

God, a covenant, and a contradiction.

Now I want you to turn with me to the book of Romans,

please.

Fourth chapter.

Oh, thank you Jesus.

Romans chapter 4, and we'll begin reading with the 16th verse.

Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace. To the end, the promise, every time now when you see promise I'm in your spiritual antenna ought to go right straight up. The promise might be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham

who is the father of us all as it is written. I have made thee a father of many nations. Did you see that in your Bible? Look at it again. I have

made thee a father of many nations before him or like him whom he believed even

God who quick enough the dead and calleth those things which be not as though

they were.

He is referring to the 17th chapter of the book of Genesis. Let's turn there please.

When Abram was 90 years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram and said,

the Lord appeared to Abram and said unto him. I am now I want you to notice am is in a

talix I want you. I want you to get a sense in a field for this. He said, I, the Almighty God walk before me and be blameless. I love it. I am the Almighty God walk before me and be

thou blameless. I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly.

And Abram fell on his face and God talked with him saying, as for me behold my covenant is with thee, thou shalt be a father of many nations.

Here is a, if only you knew how significant this is. I want you to notice the words, verse 4, as for me, behold, my covenant is with thee and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

Now then I want you to notice here, he said, as for me.

This is my idea.

As for me.
