Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.

1. QUESTION: What were the amazing promises God made to Abraham (review Genesis 12:1-3, if needed)? How does God respond when Abraham has doubts about these big promises?
TAKEAWAY: God helps Abraham overcome his doubt by reminding him that he will always keep his amazing promises.

2. QUESTION: With God's help, what did Abraham believe about God's promises? How would you describe faith?
TAKEAWAY: Having faith in God means we believe that what he says is true, even when it is hard to believe.

3. QUESTION: What are some good deeds you did this week? Were all those deeds enough to make you perfect ("righteous") in the sight of a perfect and holy God? Why not?
TAKEAWAY: No one is perfect; everyone is sinful.

4. QUESTION: If everyone is sinful, and no one is holy and perfect, how could you or me be righteous in God's sight? (If the children need hep answering, you could ask, "Why was Abraham considered righteous in God's sight?").
TAKEAWAY: Like Abraham, through faith in God (believing what he says is true), we are given God's righteousness.
