The “End of Life” Faith of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph
Main Idea: At death’s door, we must trust God for His yet unfulfilled promises!
• Example of Isaac: We must obey God’s word (20) (Gen 27:27-29) Repent of unbelief Believe His promises Obey His commands
• Example of Jacob: We must worship our faithful God (21) (Gen 48:16, 20) Have “eyes of faith” to see God’s will Publicly worship God Obey God
• Example of Joseph: We must believe that we will be glorified (22) (Gen 50:24-25) See ourselves as “aliens” in this world Take the “long view” of history Trust God to the very end of our lives
