Many people who read the story in Genesis 22 – the one about God requesting Abraham to bring his beloved son, Isaac, as a burnt offering – think that God is too much in asking this from Abraham, and Abraham was too strong in faith (something which they can never achieve) to trust God to […]
Learning the Lesson of Offering Back to God what He has Given us and Rely only on God
Abraham learned the lesson of offering back to God what He has given him. In Gen. 22:1-18 we see that God asked Abraham to bring his beloved son, his only son, Isaac, as a burnt offering on one of the mountains in Moriah. Even though Isaac was born through grace and he was from God, […]
