Text:  Genesis 22:1-24   An Ultimate Test of Faith (Gen. 22:1-2) God tested Abraham's faith by commanding him to offer up his son Isaac as a sacrifice. God tests us to prove the genuineness of our faith and produce steadfastness (James 1:2-4).   An Undaunted Act of Obedience (Gen. 22:3-10) Abraham responds to God in faith, acting in obedience to God's command. Abraham believed that God would provide a lamb for the sacrifice and take care of his son. (Heb. 11:17-19)   An Unfailing Provision of Grace (Gen. 22:11-14) Abraham proved that his faith in God was genuine. God stays Abraham's hand and provides the sacrifice that was required. Jesus, the true and better Isaac, is the sacrificial lamb of God who would be slain for our redemption.   An Unwavering Promise of Blessing (Gen. 22:15-24)  God rewards Abraham for his obedience and reassures Abraham of His promise to bless him and his offspring.
