Describe how God tested Abraham’s faith in Genesis 22:1-19
- God called Abraham and Abraham said here I am
- He asked him to take his son Isaac to the land of Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice upon one of the mountains he would tell him
- Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his ass, and took two of his servants and his son Isaac
- He cut wood for the burnt offering and went to the place God had told him
- On the third day, he lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off
- He told the young men to stay while he would go up with his son to worship and come back
- He laid the wood on Isaac and took in his hand the fire and the knife
- Isaac enquired where the lamb for the burnt offering was
- Abraham replied that God would provide the lamb
- When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it
- He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood
- Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son
- But the angel of God called him from heaven by name
- He told him not to do anything to the son for it had been confirmed that he feared God
