THE GOD OF GENESIS: God Gives it All
Abraham has gone from one who would give up his wife to save his own skin, to one who would give up his son at the request of God. His faith has completely transformed the way that he lives. Yet, God would not let him give up his son, because he gave up his own Son for Abraham and all his descendants. Would you be able to offer everything to God who gives it all to you? Perhaps if you had taken Abraham’s journey you could make Abraham’s choice.
