DWDP-Gen 15: 1-6 Abrams Faith Credited as Righteousness

Send us Fan MailFear has a way of shrinking our world down to one hot question: “What happens to me next?” Abram asks it in Genesis 15 when he looks at his childless home and wonders what God’s promises could possibly mean. We open the text slowly and let God’s first words set the tone: “Do not fear… I am a shield… your reward shall be very great.” Then we track the moment that changes everything, Genesis 15:6, where Abram believes the Lord and God credits that faith as righteousness. Along the way, we talk plainly about how the word of the Lord comes to us now. Most of us are not getting visions, but we are surrounded by God’s voice when Scripture is read, preached, and taught, and when we pick up the Bible ourselves. That raises an uncomfortable question for families: are we training our children and grandchildren to read God’s Word, or training them to scroll? We also touch Amos’s warning about a famine of hearing the Word, and why Bible literacy is not a hobby but a lifeline for faith and life. The core takeaway is simple and life-changing: God gives what we need most. He doesn’t promise Abram health, wealth, or fame; He credits righteousness. We connect that to the gospel message in the New Testament, that Jesus who knew no sin becomes sin for us so we can become the righteousness of God in Him. If you’ve been trying to earn your way into peace, this devotion points you to grace through faith and the finished work of Christ.
