Jesus testified that although He is descended from Abraham, He preceded Abraham in John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Jesus existed before Abraham was born. This is only possible because Jesus is God.

Abraham was not saved because he obeyed God’s instruction to be circumcised in the flesh. Nothing of what Abraham did gain him any merit before God to justify his salvation. Abraham was saved because he believed in God’s plan of salvation through the Man Jesus Christ who is God Himself! The great truth we declare to the world. All men must humble themselves before God to accept this glorious way by which they are saved! Amen.
