Reader:
Genesis 22 is the climax in the account of Abraham’s life and faith.
God tested Abraham.
The test revealed Abraham’s faith - his unhindered love for, and obedience to, God.
God’s response to Abraham was, “Now I know that you fear God.”
Through examining Abraham’s relationship with God, now I know what “the just shall live by faith” means.
Now I know that God will test me - repeatedly.
Now I know that God has a plan - His will is to bless; He speaks so that I will trust; He acts to fulfill what He speaks.
Now I know that God is with me - in every place, in every circumstance, I am not alone.
Now I know that the Word of God is all about the Word of Life - Jesus.
Now I know that God will provide - in His way, in His time.
Now I know that I fear God.
