The Covenant-Making God Tests Abraham: In this session, we see how Abraham’s faith in God’s promise was put to the test. God commanded Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, the very son He had given him. Believing God would somehow be true to His word, Abraham was willing to obey, even if it meant giving up his beloved son. This event gives us a picture of the special sacrifice God requires for sin and a picture of saving faith in God’s promises. As we embrace God’s promises, we are empowered to engage in His mission.
