A Man Of Great Faith

July 9, 2024

Verse of the day - John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

In chapter 3 of my fourth book, Jesus speaks about Abraham.

Excerpt from Called By God

Abraham was a man of great faith.  Even when I asked him to sacrifice his only son, he did not hesitate to do so.  It was only when the angel called to him that he did not sacrifice his only son.  I provided a ram for Abraham to sacrifice in place of his son.

Just as Isaac carried the wood on his back, I too carried the wood of the cross on My back.  I sacrificed Myself for the sake of mankind.

Abraham trusted God enough to offer Isaac as a sacrifice.  God did this to test Abraham to see how faithful he was.  Just as Abraham was willing to give up his only son, God the Father in Heaven gave up His Only Son so that we may be saved from eternal condemnation.
