Loving God for God - Saints‘ Hill Church Podcast

What this episode covers

Focusing on the Abraham and Isaac story in Genesis 22, Alex Rettmann challenges us with the “test” we see in the scriptures and in our lives - “do you love God for God or do you love Him for what He does for you?” This test requires us to step back and look at what we have done with what He has given us - to realize that our virtue does not come from earthly blessing but from surrender. This message invites us to loosen our grips and surrender to God, to see the brevity of life and live with abandon to the God we can trust, the God who did not even hold His Son from us. May we be a people who, like Abraham, pass the test - who love God for God and see the transformation of surrender.
