Our faith is proven by the relation with God and<br \/>\nthe obedience we have. There is a false faith and there is a true faith. True<br \/>\nfaith is not one that merely demands the benefits from God, it is one of<br \/>\nsubmission &amp; love which yields to God&#8217;s demands. True faith gives our<br \/>\nentire being to the Lord &#8211; our full obedience, our possessions, our emotions,<br \/>\nour time and even (in this case), our own son. One of the great trials of faith<br \/>\nis when God places great demands on us. As we meditate on Abraham&#8217;s faith,<br \/>\nlet&#8217;s pray that the word of God imparts this same faith to us. (<span style=\"color: blue;\">Rom 10:17<\/span>)<o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<b><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">The greatest demand<o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n<i><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love .. <span style=\"color: blue;\">Gen 22:2<o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>\n<span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Every<br \/>\ngood and perfect gift comes from the Father God (<span style=\"color: blue;\">James<br \/>\n1:17<\/span>) and so it was with Isaac. A miracle baby who came to this blessed<br \/>\nfamily after a long wait, yea, even many years after their bodies had become<br \/>\nunable to produce a heir. In <span style=\"color: blue;\">Gen 21:6<\/span>, we learn<br \/>\nthat Isaac was named laughter, because he indeed became their joy. Over a<br \/>\nperiod of time, God saw that it was time to test Abraham with regarding Isaac,<br \/>\nbecause God cares about what holds our affection. We need to inspect our own<br \/>\nhearts to see if there is anything in our lives which we hold more precious<br \/>\nthan God (Even nearly so!). It may be our family, children, job, even ministry.<br \/>\nIf so, it&#8217;s time to mentally place it on His altar. <o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">And<br \/>\nwhen God demands Abraham&#8217;s sacrifice, He specifies 3 times &#8211; Your son, your<br \/>\nonly son, whom you love! It may be easy for us to give our money or something<br \/>\nwhich we don&#8217;t hold so dear. But when it comes to the delight of our heart, are<br \/>\nwe willing to place it on the altar of God? Remember, it is He who gave us all<br \/>\nthese things in the first place. <o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<b><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">The faith that goes at a command<o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n<i><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Go to the region of Moriah &#8211; <span style=\"color: blue;\">Gen 22:2<o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Obedience<br \/>\nto God is shown in small and subtle ways. There is a lukewarm way to obey Him<br \/>\nand there is a zealous way! There is a difference between merely obeying His<br \/>\ncommandments and delighting to obey His commandments (<span style=\"color: blue;\">Psa<br \/>\n40:8<\/span>). While the task before him was unpleasant, yet, look at the zeal<br \/>\nof this man of God. He wakes up early next morning and got up and saddled his<br \/>\ndonkey. He took 2 servants and Isaac and he himself cut the wood for laying<br \/>\nIsaac. Such a precious task cannot be entrusted to mere servants. The disciple<br \/>\nof Jesus is one who pays the price of Discipleship. There is something costly<br \/>\nabout Abraham&#8217;s offering. It&#8217;s not a half-hearted sacrifice &#8211; it is loving God<br \/>\nwith all your heart, and your soul an<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">d<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> your strength. Can you imagine the pride<br \/>\nand joy that wells up in our Lord&#8217;s heart when He sees His dear child joyfully<br \/>\nzealously fulfilling his demands ? <o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In<br \/>\nall this, Abraham doesn&#8217;t pause to consult with his wife. There is no place for<br \/>\nhuman emotions while performing God&#8217;s will. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Because of her<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> tender and genuine love for Isaac, Sarah<br \/>\nis not going to aid Abraham in this sacrifice. If anything, her desperate love<br \/>\nfor her son will be a hindrance to the sacrifice. Like Paul says: I conferred<br \/>\nnot with flesh and blood. (<span style=\"color: blue;\">Gal 1:16-17<\/span>). This<br \/>\nis why James says: faith without works is dead. (<span style=\"color: blue;\">James<br \/>\n2:17<\/span>). Abraham&#8217;s actions <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">were<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> proof that he had faith.

These are<br \/>\ntimes that you must gird up the loins of the mind and leave many things behind<br \/>\n(the donkeys and the servants) to go and worship the Lord. Here is a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">key<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> &#8211;<br \/>\nAbraham perceived this sacrifice as worship to the Lord.

(<span style=\"color: blue;\">Gen 17:19<\/span> &#8211; where<br \/>\nhe promises the covenant between God and the descendants of Abraham and in <span style=\"color: blue;\">Gen 17:21<\/span>, He names Isaac as the partaker of the<br \/>\ncovenant blessing.) So long as that covenant is there, Abraham realized that<br \/>\neven if he had to kill Isaac, The Lord is able and faithful to restore Isaac (<span style=\"color: blue;\">Heb 11:17-19<\/span>) because the Lord doesn&#8217;t alter the word<br \/>\nthat has proceeded from his mouth! And <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">faith in his<br \/>\nheart overflowed and became the<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> word of faith<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> in his mouth<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u201c<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We will come back<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u201d<\/span><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">! <o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">And<br \/>\nwhen Isaac asks him about the sacrifice animal, Abraham says: the Lord will<br \/>\nprovide.

One who could easily<br \/>\noverpower the old father &#8211; Yet, he chose to be fully submissive. He chose death<br \/>\nto himself. He chose the will of his father. In this, I see a clear pattern.<br \/>\nOne who was submissive to God sets forth a blessed example which his<br \/>\ngenerations would want to imitate. <o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<b><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Secret of faith &#8211; fear of God<o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><i><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Now I know that you fear God,<br \/>\nbecause you have not withheld from me your son, your only son &#8211; <\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"color: blue; font-size: 12pt;\">Gen 22:12<\/span><\/i><i><span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> <o:p\/><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span lang=\"X-NONE\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">The climax of the story is the proven faith &#8211; a hand that is lifted<br \/>\nupon the sacrifice, a heart that is ready to do His will.

The whole episode was a test for<br \/>\nAbraham&#8217;s faith. There was no use for humanity if Isaac is sacrificed. God&#8217;s<br \/>\nprovision was given to bring Isaac back from death. Yet, this serves as a<br \/>\npowerful foreshadow of the redemption plan of God for mankind. (Instead of<br \/>\nAbraham, consider God the Father. Instead of Isaac, consider Jesus) Travel a<br \/>\nfew centuries down and see God sending His son Jesus to the earth &#8211; as the Lamb<br \/>\nof God who take away the sin of the world. He Himself had given Jesus &#8211; His<br \/>\nson, His only son, whom He loved. <span style=\"color: blue;\">John 3:16<\/span><br \/>\nreminds us of this truth. <span style=\"color: blue;\">Rev 13:8<\/span> says: Jesus<br \/>\nwas the lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. The only difference<br \/>\nwas, Jesus had to die to bear our sin and to bear the punishment for our sin. <span style=\"color: blue;\">Isa 53<\/span> says: the chastisement for our peace was upon<br \/>\nhim. and by His stripes, we are healed. For all the above stages of Abraham&#8217;s<br \/>\nlife, there is a corresponding parallel from Jesus&#8217; life. Indeed on the mount<br \/>\nCalvary, the Lord provided a fountain of life for us for our cleansing. and<br \/>\nbecause of the love of our God and obedience of our Lord Jesus, we are redeemed<br \/>\nfrom death to eternal life. <o:p\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gen 22:1-2\u00a0 Some time later God tested Abraham.
