Charles Spurgeon Commentary Genesis 15:6

"And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness." — Genesis 15:6 (ASV)

Oh, what a blessing to learn the way of ample faith in God! This is the saving quality in many a life.

Look through Paul's list of the heroes of faith; some of them are exceedingly imperfect characters; some we should hardly have thought of mentioning, but they had faith. And although men, in their faulty judgment, think faith to be an inferior virtue, and often scarcely look upon it as a virtue at all, yet, in the judgment of God, faith is the supreme virtue.

This, said Christ, is the work of God, the greatest of all works, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. To trust, to believe, this shall be counted to us for righteousness, even as it was to Abraham.
