Read this first: James 2:21
Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac is an example of faith producing good works of obedience (Heb 11:17-18). So God returned his son to him (Heb 11:19; Gen 22:12-14), showing the command was only a test (Gen 22:1) and not a judgement upon him. At times, circumstances we cannot understand are given to test our faith. Don't lose hope: keep trusting and serving the Lord.
Based on the sermon “Two tests of faith”
