Secondly, Abraham had faith to God, that is,1 he gave consent to all those things that God said, because he said them, which necessarily followeth from his acknowledgement of the truth, power, and All-sufficiency of God: So doth the Author to the Hebrews note, that it was a land which after he should receive for an inheritance. He believed that God would give him that land according to his promise, and he believed above hope in hope, that he should be Father of many Nations, and it is said, that God preached the Gospel unto him, saying,2 in thy seed (which is Christ) shall all Nations be blessed. He believed that of his seed should come the Messiah which should free mankind from the curse, and make them partakers of the blessing. So he believed Gods threats against Sodom, that God would destroy it with fire.
