@Xenophon @Ash_Kvetchum @Omega_Variant >Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
Spiritual father by faith.
Romans 4:16
>Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
I know you will likely bring up the point of who Paul is addressing here— Romans. I will repeat what I said in another comment that even the Canaanite woman who Christ called a dog was granted a miracle because of her faith. I do not believe that was purely for illustrative purposes, as more than enough miracles had already been accomplished to show that Christ acknowledged faith, including the Centurion who stated he was not worthy for Christ to come under his roof.
