Genesis 22 records the account of the test of faith of Abraham, but before we delve into the account of God’s testing and Abraham’s obedience, let us see how Abraham responds to the call of the Lord. Genesis 22:1 reads “And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.” When God called his name, the answer was “Behold, here I am”.
Points to ponder:
When God calls our name, will our response be as that of Abraham, immediately, stating “Behold, Here I am.”
Genesis 22:1 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
