• Genesis 22 The Offering Up of Isaac

  Issac, a type of Christ as the promised seed (Gal 3:16), was given to Abraham by God.  Here God asked Abraham to give back to God what God had given him.  This shows a basic principle in God’s economy:  all that God has given us, even what He has wrought in us and through us, must eventually be offered back to Him, that we may live a life of faith, not holding on to anything, even to the things given by God, but relying only on Him.  After Isaac was offered, he was returned to Abraham in resurrection and became a blessing.  Likewise, after we have offered to God what we have received o f Him, He will return it to us in resurrection and it will become a blessing for the fulfillment of His purpose.
