"And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me"."
''For now I know thee'' God who fashioned all hearts alike so what he says refers to something else.. In order to understand it let us consider this well known verse, 'Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.'What is faith without works it is dud, counterfeit and mere lip-service what hypocrites do. Abraham in faith didn't wait for God to relent and call the whole thing off. 'And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son." His faith was obedience without which the whole fellowship is a farce. Remember Abraham instructed the two young men to wait for them till they returned. He trusted God's promise never failed. " For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."(Rom.11.29). Fear of God is our reasonable service so our faith in his holiness supersedes everything else in life. He that spared not his Son shall not he give everything needful for life and godliness must be our well spring that our works are spontaneous and have naturalness of a child. Perhaps the patriarch expected in his obedience he shall only let go from the altar with Isaac revived from it.
The Spirit in the expression,'thine only son' makes a distinction between Ishamel and Isaac. The latter is the heir of promise in his Son and none else. They shall be great nations but in Christ Jesus "Fear of God is our reasonable service so our faith in his holiness supersedes everything else in life. He that spared not his Son shall not he give everything needful for life and godliness must be our well spring that our works are spontaneous and have naturalness of a child. Perhaps the patriarch expected in his obedience he shall only let go from the altar with Isaac revived from it.
