I don't recall ever catching the message in the first three verses of this chapter. The picture is beautifully clear in displaying God's consistency. The prophet was conveying God assurance to those few in Judah who still sought his favor. He tells them that they were hewn from the same quarry of faith that birthed Abraham. Those who display the same faith as Abrahm can expect to receive the same blessings that Abraham received. Paul also refers to Christians as the true seed of Abraham. Therefore, it is safe to assume that we too will receive Abraham's reward from God.
It took me 5 minutes to read this chapter.
