Who gave Abraham his Faith?

Romans 4: 20 “Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,” - Berean Study Bible Romans 12:3 “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you .” - New International Version Pastor, ‘Christian’, who gives faith, clearly reflected by Paul in his letters to the Romans above? God rules over all ( Psalm 103:19 ). Abraham was the most important role player in God’s plan for the salvation of all humanity… in the Book of Genesis already. God had predestined everything before the foundation of the earth ( Acts 17:26 ). Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.” - Berean Study Bible God’s Plan was perfectly worked out, with His ultimate goal to be fulfilled at the consummation… His goal of everlasting joy with ALL His children. Pastor, ‘Christian’, His absolute Sovereignty and Supremacy have dominion over your every action , your every thought. Do you accept this Authority of Him only when it suits you? Just know that in that case a painful penalty will be inevitable. God is not to be mocked. To choose , believe and think are all actions and God determines our every action . Proverbs 16:33 “The dice are thrown into the lap, but their every decision is from the LORD.” - NET Bible #2436 - ba·ḥêq - בַּ֭חֵיק – lap meaning bosom Abraham’s obedience was ALSO not on his own account, but on God’s account. God does not wait for us to see what we are going to do and adapt His plan around that. No, He does it FOR us. He Himself planned our every step before we were even born… to perfectly fit into the slot already allotted for in HIS Plan. This unfamiliar angle of reasoning is meant to dig out suppressed logic that will hopefully bring dooming ‘Christians’ to their senses. However, it’s up to God to do that. To conclude… Pastor, ‘Christian’, you have the ‘free will’ mindset like the rest of the world, not so? Like the world, you also use it as a justification to point a lofty finger to another who either resorts under another belief system, or who is not up to [your] standard. Have you ever considered the fact that the faith of the “another” is also the work of the God of the Bible? Just as God gave Paul and Abraham their [true] faith, He gave the unbeliever his/her faith as well, albeit a faith to be rectified later ( Hebrews 12:2 ). May God open your eyes.
