Faith & Sacrifice - Epistle to the Hebrews Part 28

The author wrote a list of people who pleased God. The list included Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Sarah. And there was one thing in common among them— their faith in the invisible God and faith in His word. The author made it clear that without faith, it is impossible to please God (11:6). One of the stories of faith remembered by many is the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mt. Moriah. God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, the son through whom God would fulfill the promise. The age of Isaac is unclear when his father bound him. He could be in his 20s or 30s. Abraham proceeded with the travel and preparation of the altar. One may presume that Isaac willingly submitted to the process. God tested Abraham, and he passed the test of faith. In his heart was faith in God. Nothing got in the way, not even his beloved son.
