God tested Abraham's faith and obedience
God tested Abraham's faith and obedience "Later on God tested Abraham's faith and obedience. "Abraham!" God called. "Yes," he replied. "Here I am." (Gen.22.1.NLT) Abraham is so associated with faith he is called the father of faith. And he did not get there without being tested. His faith was tested repeatedly. It was not only his faith that was tested but his obedience also. Our text say God tested Abraham's faith and obedience. We talk so much about his faith that little is said about his obedience. When we say tested, we do not mean tempted but to prove something. Abraham's faith and obedience were proven over and over again. His faith, as it relates to his unweaving trust in God to do what God says God was going to do. If God said it Abraham believed it and that settled it for him. The Apostle Paul reminds us that Abraham did not stagger at the promises of God. (see Rom:4:20) He judged God faithful, the same Who will perform it.
