Genesis 22:1–18 recounts Abraham's ultimate test of faith when God commands him to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. Just as Abraham raises the knife, God intervenes, providing a ram as a substitute—revealing that God both tests and provides. This passage not only illustrates radical obedience but also foreshadows the gospel, where God does not spare his own Son but offers him for the world.
