True Faith Is Proven Through Unwavering Obedience
In this sermon, we take a deep look into one of the most sobering and faith-defining moments in Scripture: God’s command for Abraham to offer Isaac, the son of promise. Genesis 22 gives us not only a narrative of obedience under extreme testing but also a window into the very nature of genuine, saving faith.
This message walks through the passage slowly and carefully, tracing Abraham’s journey up the mountain, his posture of trust, and the way God reveals His character in the midst of the trial. We reflect on how God uses tests not to destroy His people but to strengthen them, purify their motives, and display the reality of their faith.
Beyond Abraham, the passage directs our eyes to the greater story — the foreshadowing of Christ’s willing sacrifice, the theme of substitution, and the assurance that God Himself provides what His people cannot. The sermon invites listeners to consider what obedience looks like in the Christian life today, especially when God’s call runs against our expectations, comfort, or understanding.
May this message encourage you to walk with a deeper trust in God, leaning on His promises, submitting to His wisdom, and obeying with confidence that His purposes are always good, even when the path is difficult.
