Bible Note: Hi, Heartfire; I agree with all that you said about God's testing of Abraham; I would like to add to it. How many times have each of observed an act of faith or heroism and wondered if we would do the same? We would like to think we would, but we're not sure. I think God, knowing that Abraham would pass the test, wanted Abraham to know as well. This test allowed Abraham to see for himself the reservoir of faith and courage God had given him. The Bible doesn't record Abraham's emotions or inner thoughts, but surely this knowledge would only strengthen and encourage him. Peace and grace, Steve |
