 Abraham’s
Obedience to
Faith
Abraham, formerly called Abram
belonged to a prosperous family of
nomadic shepherds and farmers from
the city of Ur. He was a descendant of
Shem, a son of Noah.
Terah, the leader of their clan and the
father of Abram took his grandson,
Lot and Abram and his wife Sarai out
of Ur to Canaan. However, they never
arrived in Canaan. Instead, they
settled in the prosperous land of
Haran and lived there until Terah
died. And that is when God called
Abraham saying:
“Go forth from the land of
your kinsfolk and from your
father’s house to a land that
I will show you. I will make
of you a great nation, and I
will bless you. I will make
your name great so that you
will be a blessing. I will
bless those who bless you
and curse those who curse
you. All the communities of
the earth shall find blessing
in you.”
And so, Abraham accepted
God’s call. God asked
Abraham to let go of all his
past and to accept a future of
“new beginnings” where he
would embark on a new
mission and lead a new life.
This means that Abraham has
to leave his country, his
father’s house and his
relatives. But don’t worry,
God promised Abraham of a
great nation, a great family
and a great name…
So, what exactly is the task
that God has given
Abraham?

Abraham has to act as God

directed him. He should
trust God and His
promises. He must obey
the promptings of the
divine will and believe in
God wholeheartedly.
Years passed by and Abraham
started to worry about God’s
promise to give him many
descendants. He started to
doubt and question God.
Why? Because Abraham and
Sarai were already too old to
have a child. Nevertheless,
God continued to assure him
of His promise and to suppress
his doubts and insecurities.
And after years and years and years
of waiting…God finally fulfilled
His promise to Abraham. Sarai who
is now called Sarah finally bore a
child. They named him Isaac which
means “he laugh” because when
Sarah’s pregnancy was announced
to them, Sarah can’t help but laugh
because she cannot believe that in
her old age, she can still bear a
child. Imagine the miracles that
God does? He works wonders!
Years later God tested Abraham. He
asked him to sacrifice his only son. It was
a great challenge and test of faith for
Abraham to follow this command. He
waited for many years and prayed very
hard for Isaac’s arrival. But without any
hesitations, Abraham did as what God
instructed him. He and Isaac went to the
land of Moriah. They both gathered
woods and traveled to where the sacrifice
would take place. Isaac was completely
unaware of what is going on. He asked
his father, “Where is the sheep that we
will use as our sacrifice?” Abraham
answered “God will provide the sheep for
the burnt offering.”
 He bound his son Isaac and laid him on
the altar, on top of the wood. Then he
reached out his hand and took the knife to
slay his son. But the angel of the Lord
called out to him from heaven, saying
“Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he
replied.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said.
“Do not do anything to him. Now I know
that you fear God, because you have not
withheld from me your son, your only
son.”
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket
he saw a ram caught by its horns. He
went over and took the ram and sacrificed
it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
The angel of the Lord called to
Abraham from heaven a second
time and said, “I swear by myself,
declares the Lord, that because you
have done this and have not
withheld your son, your only son, I
will surely bless you and make your
descendants as numerous as the
stars in the sky and as the sand on
the seashore. Your descendants will
take possession of the cities of their
enemies, and through your
offspring all nations on earth will
be blessed, because you have
obeyed me.”
