Genesis 16 – The Covenant Tested by Impatience
(Part 16 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series)
Introduction
In Genesis 15, Abram believed God’s promise — but time passed, and no child came. In Genesis 16, faith is tested by delay. Sarai, tired of waiting, urged Abram to have a child through her Egyptian maid, Hagar. Abram agreed, and Ishmael was born.
Though this decision created lasting tension, it teaches a timeless lesson: When we try to fulfill God’s covenant by human effort, we produce conflict instead of peace. Yet even then, God remains merciful and faithful.
