You know, if you have faith it will bear fruit.
But it can't bear fruit if you don't obey.
God counted Abraham faithful before he did anything because he knew Abraham would follow through.
He was faithful to follow through with what God communicated to him
When God asked him to pack up and move he did, several times
This was not in the law, it had to do with Abraham's ability to hear.
He had faith enough to trust God even though things seemed impossible.
 
So there is the problem
If you have faith, show me the evidence
Don't say you have faith and live like the devil.
If that is true, the only one being deceived it you.
God speak to all are hearts.
But if you never follow through, where is your faith?
