This document provides the learning targets, references, and activities for a lesson on Abraham's faith. The three learning targets are: 1) Describe how faith can make one ready to obey God's will, 2) Cite ways that faith can lead us or enable accomplishing difficult things, and 3) Praise and thank God for the gift of faith through prayer. The lesson cites Abraham as the father of faith and how his free response to God's love shows Christian faith is also free yet morally obliging. The lesson activities include clarifying understanding by narrating instances of deep faith witnessed and answering questions about imitating Abraham's faith and writing a prayer for nurturing one's faith.

2. Abraham is our father of faith. He responded
to the love of God freely. Christian faith is also
both “free and “morally obliging” (cf.CCC160).
Our faith is a free response. No one, not even
God, forces us to believe.
