The task asks you to
circle all the phrases that describe
ways Abraham and Sarah put their faith in action.
Let’s go through each phrase one by one, based on biblical accounts (mainly from Genesis), especially the story of Abraham and Sarah being called by God to leave their homeland and journey to a new land.
---
✔ Phrases that show faith in action (should be circled):
1.
Traveled to a new land
→ Abraham and Sarah obeyed God's call to leave their home and go to a land God would show them. This was an act of faith.
2.
Listened to God’s voice
→ They responded to God’s instructions, showing trust and obedience.
3.
Believed in God
→ Faith begins with belief. Abraham believed God’s promise, even when it seemed impossible (e.g., having a child in old age).
4.
Obeyed God
→ Obedience is a key part of faith. They left their homeland as God commanded.
5.
Left their home
→ This physical act demonstrated their trust in God’s plan.
---
✘ Phrases that do not show faith in action (should NOT be circled):
1.
Disobeyed
→ This contradicts faith in action. Abraham and Sarah were not disobedient in their main journey.
2.
Doubted God
→ While Sarah did doubt at times (e.g., laughing about having a child), this is not a way they *put their faith in action*—it’s a moment of unbelief.
3.
Refused to listen
→ Again, this goes against faith. They listened and followed God.
4.
Stay where they were
→ They didn’t stay—they left Ur and traveled to Canaan. Staying would have been unfaithful.
5.
Did their own thing
→ At times they made poor choices (like Abraham passing off Sarah as his sister), but these were moments of fear or weakness, not faith in action.
---
✔ Final Answer: Circle these phrases:
- Traveled to a new land
- Listened to God’s voice
- Believed in God
- Obeyed God
- Left their home
These are the actions that reflect
faith in action according to the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah.
