Genesis is also known as the seed plot for the bible. Every major biblical theme finds its origin right back in Genesis. Although faith is only mentioned twice in the Old Testament it does not mean that there was a lack of faith by those who served the Lord before Christ was born. Their faithfulness is clearly seen by their actions and works throughout the Old Testament and Abraham’s life is a great example.

There are two factors that serve as foundations for our faith and Abraham understood these faith foundations. To be a man or woman of faith we must have unswerving faith in these two factors about God.

1 God is powerful therefore He is able (Romans 4:21)

2 God is faithful therefore He is willing (Hebrews 11:11)

A great definition for faith can be taken from Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is being sure of the things we hope for and certain of what we do not see”, it is seeing the promise’s of God because we believe it and not believing the promise’s because we see it.

In chapter 8 David conquers seven hostile nations, because, “the Lord preserved David everywhere he went”, (2 Samuel 8:11-14).

The first 10 chapters shows the greatness of David as a military general, and wise ruler. He was Israel’s greatest king, there was no enemy to great for him, so it seemed, because in the following chapter David is about to be conquered not by an external enemy or a surrounding nation but by himself; by his own lust.
