Richard Thetford Offering his son Isaac Genesis 22:1-13 His faith exemplified: Prompt action Thorough preparation Complete confidence Complete obedience (v12) Abraham Personal Trial of Faith Hebrews 11:17-19

Richard Thetford Had a perfect faith – grew to maturity Abraham Personal Trial of Faith Hebrews 11:17-19 Faith said “I believe in God” Works said “I’ll show you how much.” “Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS." And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.” James 2:21-24
