Reference Type: Direct Quotation
Connection Method(s): Promise-Fulfillment
Significance: Promise that descendants would come through Isaac, yet Abraham willing to sacrifice him. Faith trusts God's faithfulness to promises. The logic: if God promised descendants through Isaac, and Abraham must sacrifice Isaac, then God must raise him from the dead. Faith holds together divine promise and divine command by trusting God's power and faithfulness.
