Abraham exercised faith through grace, not faith of the law (there was no law)

[Romans 4:16] Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise (hope) might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

  • Faith manifests the promise of God which is our hope. Promises of God can be found in His Word (scriptures), His voice (like with Abraham), dreams, visions, thoughts and other forms of oneness.
