Hebrews 11:17-22
FAMILY LINEAGE OF ABRAHAM PRESERVED
“ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son ”. Hebrews 11:17, NIV
Josh McDowell’s book, The Last Christian Generation, relays a passionate message about the fate of the Christian faith in the next generation. McDowell believes very strongly that unless something critical and intentional is done to change the spiritual state of the youths, this may be the last Christian generation. Abraham preserved the faith for many generations after him because he walked with God and believed His words. Abraham’s faith did not remain in the level of knowing; he put his faith into action even when it was difficult. His faith survived generations until its ultimate fulfilment in Christ because each man in each generation (Isaac, Jacob, Joseph) did not fail God even when their faith was tested beyond limit.
As a Christian youth, you have a responsibility of preserving the faith for the next generation. But how can you effectively do that when the life you are living contradicts God’s design through His word? Are you living a life of faith when you are only concerned about what makes you feel happy and not what makes God happy? Brother Jude, in Jude 3, admonishes us to “contend for the faith which was once for all entrusted to the saints”. God is counting on you to impact your generation for Him and pass on the baton to the next generation.
