Romans 4:17. Before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Abraham was a believer in the God of resurrection, expecting to see Isaac raised up from the dead if he did actually offer him as a sacrifice to God. He was a believer in things that were not yet apparent to him, looking forward to them, and expecting to see them in due time; believing in them because he believed in God, who "calleth those things which be not as though they were."
