The Test - Gen 22 Abe's Choice: OBEY Immediately (22:3a) Unhesitatingly (22:4) Fully (22:10)

The Test - Gen 22 HOW?! Hebrews 11:17-19

How did he do it? Abraham was faithful because he trusted… …in the character of God …in the promises of God

TRUST in God's CHARACTER Sovereign All Powerful Righteous Good Faithful All Knowing Loving Gracious etc…

TRUST in God's PROMISES 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."

TRUST in God's PROMISES Romans 8:28 " And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

TRUST in God's PROMISES Mathew 6:31-33 “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ …for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

TRUST in God's PROMISES Revelation 2:26-27 "He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father."

How do we do it? We can be heroes of the faith if we'll trust… …in the character of God …in the promises of God
