Abram believed God and God's promise to hm was 'forever' " For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."(13.15), How appropriate was this tag when God tells him of his mortality? "And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age." (15.15) The Spirit presents Abram and blesses him in his Son. Jesus Christ the same forever. (Heb.13.8). For instance Abram does not take even a shoe-latchet from the king of Sodom because Jesus testifies," for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."( Jn 14.30). This foreknowledge ought to warn every believer to walk before God perfect where His grace is there to fill in the shortfall. It is to which the Spirit prepares by this Covenant. Hagar episode is a study in the life of walking with God. God assures him not to fear of such a momentous step. " Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." He repeats even after his indiscretion "The Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect."(17.1) Perfection is where God makes good of your lapses as a man, and it for his sake' so your faith touches the perfect sacrifice his Son shall make for him as well. In order to illustrate how man's best is woefull inadequate we have this verse,"and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him." (15.12). His sacrifice just as demanded of him but the horror of darkness was in his own inadequateness.
This foreknowledge was in his Son so God sets directions "after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:{ and it touched the world of the Spirit.) The book of life in which we are co-heirs with the first begotten our faith sets the third space as 'forever' and it is the rest you enter abiding in Christ Jesus.
