Galatians 3:8...The scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham.
Abraham was born some 2000 years before the birth of Jesus, so he knew nothing of the gospel, which came into being only after the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord. He could not know how Jesus would come to this earth, but he was saved by the same faith we must have to be saved today.
The righteous live by faith, in the 21st century BC or AD. To live by faith means that we do not demand to know all the details of what God is doing or what the future holds for us. We might like to have a searchlight that would show us what lies miles ahead on the road before us. But God offers instead a light that shines on our path just enough to help us on our step-by-step walk with God.

Faith in what we cannot see.....keep on believing in our Lord in all things. He is with us always.
