Christians should respond to God's promises with faith, trust, and obedience, as He is faithful to fulfill them.
Christians are called to respond to God's promises with unwavering faith, just as Abraham did, believing that God is able to perform what He has promised. The sermon references Zacharias' initial doubting response, contrasting it with a faithful response that recognizes God's authority and trustworthiness. In Romans 4:20-21, we see that faith glorifies God, fostering a life characterized by trust in His Word. Our response should include earnest prayer and reliance on God's grace to cultivate our faith, reflecting a heart aligned with His purpose and plan as we await His fulfillment.
