25.3: Genesis 22: The Ultimate Test of Man's Faith from God

Imagine this: Hearing the clear voice of God telling you to sacrifice your only son, the son that you waited 25 years for! God promised Abraham when he was 75 years old that he would have descendants. That  would require having at least one son. However, his wife Sarah, was  barren at age 65. Surprisingly enough, God kept His promise and Isaac was born when Abe was 100 and Sarah was 90. An impossibility according to human standards, but we know that nothing is impossible with God. Subsequently, God tests Abraham’s faith in the most extreme manner possible. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special music video at the bottom…. Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - This phrase is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.  If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus didn’t die so we could religion! He died so He could have a Relationship with YOU!  This is a daily podcast, published each evening.  Hit the subscribe button so can get to know God.   And please share this with your friends.
