A Faith That Ages Well

Summary
Abraham's faith matures in Genesis 23 as he grieves his wife Sarah's death and purchases burial land in Canaan rather than returning to Ur, demonstrating that mature faith fears God more than people and invests sacrificially in God's kingdom rather than accumulating possessions.
Highlights
Mature faith fears God more than people. As your faith ages, you should learn to fear people less. You should care less about being accepted and more about being respected for your faith.
There are things in life more important than money. The kingdom of God is more important than the shekels in your purse.
It should become increasingly difficult to explain your life outside of the gospel. People shouldn't be able to look at your life and understand you without saying, they must really believe what they believe.
