Many people who read the Bible know that God required Abraham to offer up Isaac as a burnt offering, but they don’t know what happened after God provided a ram (a type of Christ) to replace Isaac as the burnt offering. We need to dig deeper into the word of God to see what it […]

Many Christians tend to trivialize the story of Abraham offering up Isaac to God as a burnt offering, saying that “God tested him to see if he can give up his own son, and Abraham passed the test!” But what the Bible reveals is a much deeper and sweeter reality than this. Why did God […]
