Perfecting Our Faith Faith Required  My people shall live by faith  Without faith it is impossible to please God Faith initiated Faith challenged  Faith developed  or Faith abandoned Examples of people and their successful response to the faith challenge Examples and encouragement for our own faith challenges

Abraham’s Sacrifice Perfecting Our Faith

Hebrews 11:17-19 By faith Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice God tested him Abraham reasoned God would bring him back to life Abraham received Isaac back from the dead

I. Abraham’s Test - Genesis 22:1-19 Offer your son, whom you love, as a sacrifice

Three day journey to Mt. Moriah The boy and I will go and worship and we will come back

Isaac carries the wood

Isaac’s response Isaac yields

The knife is raised

The knife is stayed

Now I know you truly fear God God does not require human sacrifice, but a substitution is provided Jehovah Jireh – God provider

The Blessing Conditional on continued obedience

II. Our Tests James 1:12-15 God blesses those who endure testing and temptation Do not say God is tempting me Tempt (Greek peirazo) �� pi-rad'-zo to test (objectively), that is endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline:- assay, examine, go about, prove, tempt (-er), try.

Discerning the challenge The devil attempting to steal, kill, destroy, prowling about seeking whom he may devour - or God developing and strengthening you in his completion project – with the intent of blessing you as a result of your obedience Be careful what you rebuke

God testing your faithfulness that he might entrust you with more I Corinthians 10:13 – even in temptation God will not allow the temptation to be more that you can stand The level of your testing says something about what you can stand He will show you the way of escape that you can endure God blesses those who endure testing and temptation (James 1:12)

III. The Picture of Jesus Abraham’s act of sacrifice - enables us to understand the sacrifice which God made to save us

Isaac carries the wood of his own sacrifice – like Christ carrying his own cross

The submission of Isaac – insight into Christ’s obedience unto death

Isaac’s death of three days in the heart of his father – Jesus in the grave three days

Isaac’s restoration to life with the staying of the knife – Jesus’ resurrection

The knife Our sin - 2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad.”
