Abraham’s Test of Faith: Why God Asked for Isaac – Bible Study

B5L4 Why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice his "only son" Isaac, even though Ishmael was already born? In this Bible study, Les Feldick explores Genesis 22 and 23 to reveal the incredible foreshadowing of Christ’s death and resurrection hidden in the story of Abraham and Isaac. You will learn why "the third day" is so significant and how true faith is always tested. Les Feldick also explains the difference between Cain and Abel’s offerings in Genesis 4, showing why a blood sacrifice was required for sin. He then moves to Genesis 23 to discuss the death of Sarah and why Abraham insisted on buying a burial plot in the Promised Land. This lesson connects Old Testament types to New Testament truths, helping you see the Bible as one complete story. 00:00 – Introduction: God Tests Abraham’s Faith 00:22 – Genesis 22: Why Isaac is Called the "Only Son" 04:48 – The Prophetic Meaning of "The Third Day" 05:46 – Isaac’s Obedience: A Picture of Christ 07:25 – Why Do Believers Face Trials & Suffering? 10:48 – Understanding Dispensationalism (God’s Administrations) 12:47 – Cain vs. Abel: Why God Requires a Blood Sacrifice 16:35 – The Death of Sarah & The Cave of Machpelah (Genesis 23) 20:55 – Abraham Seeks a Bride for Isaac (Genesis 24 Preview) Watch more lessons from Les Feldick Bible Study to deepen your understanding of Scripture.
