Futhi ngakho, ngemva kokubekezela kwakhe ngokubekezela, wathola isithembiso. Ngoba abantu impela bafunga ngomkhulu, futhi isifungo sokuqinisekisa kubo siwukuphela kwayo yonke impikiswano. Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu, enquma ukukhombisa kakhulu kakhulu izindlalifa zesithembiso ukungaguquguquki kweseluleko Sakhe, wakuqinisekisa ngesifungo, ukuthi ngezinto ezimbili ezingaphenduki, lapho kungenakwenzeka ukuba uNkulunkulu aqambe amanga, singathola induduzo enamandla, thina esibalekile yesiphephelo sokubamba ithemba elibekwe phambi kwethu. Leli themba esinalo njengehange lomphefumulo, eliqinisekile futhi eliqinile, futhi elingena eBukhoneni ngemuva kwesihenqo, lapho umanduleli angene khona ngenxa yethu, ngisho noJesu, esengumpristi omkhulu kuze kube phakade ngokohlelo lukaMelkisedeki. ” (Heberu 6: 13-20)

Ngoba uma u-Abrahama walungisiswa ngemisebenzi, unokuthile angaziqhayisa ngakho, kodwa hhayi phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uthini umbhalo? U-Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga. Manje kulowo osebenzayo, inkokhelo ayibalwa njengomusa kepha njengesikweletu. Kepha kulowo ongasebenzi kodwa ekholwa kulowo othi ulungile ongenaNkulunkulu, ukholo lwakhe lubalelwa ukuthi kungukulunga. ” (AmaRoma 4: 1-5)
Esivumelwaneni sika-Abrahama uNkulunkulu wathi ku-Abrama - “Phuma ezweni lakini, nasemndenini wakho, nasendlini kayihlo, uye ezweni engizokukhombisa lona. Ngiyakukwenza isizwe esikhulu; Ngizokubusisa ngenze igama lakho libe likhulu; uzakuba yisibusiso. Ngiyakubabusisa abakubusisayo, ngiqalekise okuqalekisayo; imindeni yonke yomhlaba iyakubusiswa kuwe. ” (UGenesise 12: 1-3) Kamuva uNkulunkulu waqinisekisa isivumelwano wasiphinda UGenesise 22: 16-18, "'…Ngizifungile... "
