'Abraham - Spiritual Father.'
Romans 4:11-12.
a) Abraham received the sign of circumcision.
b) As a Seal of the Righteousness that he had by Faith.
c) While he was still uncircumcised.
d) The purpose was to make him the father of all who Believe without being circumcised.
e) So that Righteousness would be counted to them as well.
f) Abraham's circumcision made him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the Faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

'The Story of Passover.'
Exodus 12:13.
a) The blood on your doorposts.
b) Will serve as a sign.
c) Marking the houses where you are staying.
d) When I (the Lord) see the blood, I will pass over you.
e) This plague of death will not touch you.
f) When I strike the land of Egypt.
(This Second one gives me understanding of The Story Of Passover)

Chris.
Abraham had the Righteousness that was by Faith. Here is the pattern for us. Our Righteousness does not come because we belong to a certain religion. It does not come because we are baptised, or even that we attend Church. Our Righteousness is by Faith, especially Faith in what Christ has attained for us on the Cross and by His Resurrection.
