In this eighth sermon of the “Faith Alone” series, we examine Genesis 20: Abraham repeats his fearful lie about Sarah being his sister to King Abimelech, endangering the covenant promise yet again. God sovereignly intervenes in a dream to protect Sarah and the promised line, rebuking Abraham while graciously sparing Abimelech.
This pattern of repeated sin despite God's faithfulness raises the pressing question believers often ask: Why do we keep sinning even after justification by faith alone? Drawing from Romans 7:14-25 (Paul's honest struggle: "I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing") and 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, we seek to answer this very question.
