(throughout) Without God, hopelessness sets in (p. 8 only what is done in God will last (p. 8) To have urgency will bring a willingness to obey God quickly (p. 8) Abraham's response to God is what God wants from us....a walk of absolute faith and obedience (p. 12) "I am the Lord......to give you..." (p15, Gen 15:7) The Lord has sought for HImself a man after His own heart" (1 Sam. 13:14) ...when God saves a person, He has something in mind (p. 18) Paul...urged..believers to let the fullest possible purpose of God work into every area of their lives (P. 18) There is no question that God took the initiative in Abram's life. And Abrahm's response was immediate, thorough, and full of faith (p. 23). ..when God takes the initiative, He brings to completion all that is on His heart (p. 21)

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-11 00:00:00 Ras Trut There were points in this book when I really thought the author was about to nail a particular issue, then he went another direction. He certainly places important emphasis on the "obedience of faith" that Paul explains in Romans. However, in the midst of Blackaby's emphasis on obedience, there are several points where he seems to forget grace. Grace is a fundamental element of the formula in becoming God's friend, and I found it notably absent in this book.
