This is consistent with what the rest of scripture teaches us as well. Even in the Old Testament, faith in God's word is what connected people to God, not obedience to the law. For more on that, check out Hebrews 11. What happens next between Abram and God is pretty peculiar on the surface, but it has some really beautiful, rich meaning if you dig into it a little deeper.

Even though Abram believes God, he basically asks God for confirmation. So God tells Abram to do all these weird things, cutting animals in half and whatnot. Then a deep sleep falls on Abram, which reminds me of the deep sleep that comes on Adam in 221, when God is bringing Adam into a new season too. That's when God makes Eve.

But here, God shows up on the scene not to miraculously hand Abram the promised child, but to make a covenant with him. And this is where my God shot comes in. This really unusual scene of passing between the cut up animals is an ancient covenant making practice between a king and a servant. I don't have time to cover how beautiful this is.

So if you want more info on this, and trust me, you do, check out the link in our show notes today. But here's the short version. Typically, the servant would walk between the cut up animals as a way of saying, I take the curse of this covenant that I will be cut in half like these animals if I don't fulfill my part of the covenant.

God shows up in the form of fire, which is typical of the presence of God in the Old Testament. And he passes between those cut up pieces. This is unheard of. No one could even imagine a God who would take the penalty on himself. He's a promise maker. And he's where the joy is. Music As we move through scripture, you'll see several names of God referenced.

And as we keep looking for him and for our God shot as we read his word each day, we thought it might be helpful to give you a more comprehensive guide to the names and attributes of God. So we've built out a PDF for you that not only lists the names and attributes of God, but also the scripture references where you'll find them. We'd love to share that resource with you.

Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. Today we have a mystery on our hands. We don't know for sure who wrote this book or who they wrote it to. There are a few credible theories like Paul or Luke or Barnabas or Apollos. All we know is that whoever it was ran in the same circle as the apostles.
