Abraham is uncertain and doubts how God will do what He promised. God provides a faithful experience for Abraham to believe and have faith in what God promised. We all have faith and doubts at the same time. But, Doubt is not the opposite of Faith. Doubt and questions drive us into a closer relationship with Jesus who takes our doubts and fills us with His Word and Spirit to believe He is our Lord and Savior.
