Abraham And Isaac

A father, a son, and a sacrifice

Abraham and Sarah had a baby boy, just as the Lord promised. They named him Isaac.

They loved Isaac. They taught him to choose the right and to trust the Lord.

On their way to the mountain, Isaac asked where the lamb for the sacrifice was. Abraham said the Lord would provide one.
Genesis 22:4–8

On Mount Moriah, Abraham built an altar and placed wood on it.
Genesis 22:8–9

As the Lord commanded, Abraham asked Isaac to lie down on the altar. Isaac trusted Abraham just like the Savior Jesus Christ trusted His Father.
Genesis 22:9

When Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, an angel of the Lord stopped him. Abraham showed his faith in the Lord. Abraham knew he would always follow the Lord.

Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the bushes. The Lord provided the ram for the sacrifice.

Good People Don’t Go To Heaven; Forgiven Sinners Do

HOW TO GET SAVED

Man is a sinner in the eyes of a Holy God.

Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

There is a price for our sin, the wage (what we earn) is death when we sin.

Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus Christ paid for all our sins, by dying on the cross, shedding His blood; Christ was buried and bodily rose again 3 days later.

Romans 5:8 – But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

By faith in Jesus Christ alone are we saved forever.

Ephesians 2:8 – For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Faith alone in Christ alone. That is the gospel, it is simple, pure and it saves you eternally. You cannot lose salvation.

Do you trust that Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh? That He died for all your sins on the cross? That He was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead? If you do, you are saved.
