* *Abram, IF you will separate yourself from those things which tempt and try you to be separated from Me.
If you get out (imperative), then you’ll get blessed!
This is usually the 1st sign that we are committed to God, we leave our “things”.
Abram was told to leave several things:
his “country,” his *people,* and his *father’s household* (Gen.
12:1).
But he was told nothing about the land to which he must go.
His departure required an unparalleled act of faith.
* *

Why would we want seek an excuse from obeying God?

A Ruined Witness, 12:17-20
* Faith takes God at His word and obeys Him, without compromise.

See Gal.
5:16-18

*A. **First step: confess that I am following My Flesh, *13:1-4
*B. **Second, Repent of the Works of My Flesh*

Acts 26:20 – turn from sin, turn towards God, works always follow repentance!

Situational Ethics sets in and suddenly IT interprets the Bible!

Out of a fear of being wrong, we stubbornly stick to a bad decision.
*3.
*Out of a fear of change we will stubbornly hold to tradition!
* *
*IX.
A Person of Faith Believes That God Is Aware of Their Situation!
16:13-14*

God sees your situation; “El-Roi”* 16:13*
*1.*
