Paul has just spun off 3 chapters of amazing theology. He could keep on rolling, but instead, he drives home his points by pulling from one of the most familiar stories in the OT. He asks and answers the question, “What does the Scripture say?” Most from Paul’s day would have been familiar with Abraham’s story so the point would have been powerful. However, many people today are more familiar with the story of Bart Simpson than Abraham, so it would do us some good to step back and review his amazing life.
