By faith Abraham offered Isaac accounting that GOD was able to raise him from the dead

6/25/2014

 
And it came to pass after these things, that GOD did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, GOD will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
And the Angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And He said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest GOD, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from Me.
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. (Gen 22:1-2, 4-5, 7-8, 11-12, 14)


A familiar account, GOD tests the faith of Abraham by calling for the sacrifice of Isaac, the son of the promise. Abraham believed GOD, for he knew that GOD would provide the sacrifice. That was not an idle boast to dismiss his son's question but a proclamation of Abraham's faith in GOD. He had told his servants that they would return, and he believed they would, even if GOD had to raise Isaac from the dead. He told his son that GOD would provide Himself, and believed that He would, even if he didn't know how or understand yet the why. Abraham knew that where GOD guides, GOD provides and even named that mountain, "The place where you see the provision of GOD."

GOD may call each of us to things that at first may seem strange or unusual, but we must trust Him to know us and what He has for us to do, and be obedient to His Will and Word. Now that the canon of Scripture is complete, GOD will never tell you anything that is contrary to His Word, and if you are having trouble distinguishing between the voice of GOD and your own, you are in trouble at the heart of your Salvation. His Spirit does not speak of His own, but with the Word of GOD will speak the work and will of GOD to us. The more we know of His Word, the better we are able to discern the message of GOD to hear and obey just as Abraham did.

Those of us who are His have one command we don't have to question or study, for GOD has both commanded and commissioned us to go, and as we go proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all we meet. His Church is to be on mission for the Gospel and everything we do must be about ministering to the hurting as GOD provides that they may know GOD through us, discipling one another in the Word of GOD that others  may see GOD in us, and taking the Gospel of faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary to this lost and dying world that they might believe in Him, and believing have life in His Name.

For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Turn away from your sIn and unrighteousness and trust, as Abraham did, what He has already done on that cruel Roman cross.  Just as He provided a substitute for Abraham, He has provided forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Lamb of GOD slain for your sIn. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life.

In Christ,
