The history of salvation always begins in the merciful heart of God, who wants to communicate his love to man, whom He forms from the dust of the earth. Faced with this initiative of Love, man is called to respond positively and continuously, configuring his life in the likeness of the One from whose hands he came. This Work intends to study justification by faith without the requirement of precepts, taking the story of the patriarch Abraham, and transposing it to the present day. Like Abraham and other men and women from the biblical texts, who trusted God and his Word, we intend to reflect on faith in the lives of Christians in the third millennium in a reading of today’s reality. In this context and in our increasingly multicultural context, Christians are called to respond positively to God’s saving project with eyes and hearts trusting in his Word.
