“For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.”
If a person wants to show that they love the Lord then they will keep His commandments (John 14: 15). This was true of Abraham; after many years of waiting until they had lost all hope and believed that it was impossible for the Lord to keep this promise, the Lord kept His promise and they had a son. Abraham had debated with the Lord about this promise and was willing to accept something less than the Lord had promised but the Lord didn’t give him second best. Sarah, his true wife, finally had her son when both she and her husband were very old. Abraham still remember that God was his friend and he loved God especially now that the impossible son had been born. Abraham showed his love for God by doing what God had commanded him and circumcising his son. There is no such thing as salvation by works and for those who have been saved by faith there is no such thing as living by works. We are saved by faith and we live by faith but, if we love God, then we do what He had told us to do.
