What Kind of God is He? :: Religion, Genesis, Trials

God puts trials upon everyone, and in Genesis twenty-two he sets Abraham out on his own journey, to sacrifice his own son, Isaac. afterwards all the struggle Abraham and Sarah had to conceive the child, God decides that the boy should be sacrificed to him. And without an even a moment of procrastination or a murmur of woe (Gen 223) the man sets off to do Gods bidding. What sort of God would ask a loyal man such as Abraham to do this imposing deed? I believe firmly, that God did not do this so that Abraham would be deprived of the wonders of his offspring, or to feed a human burnt go for his own good, but to gain our trust and show how trustworthy he is. And also to show that if we just listen to what he has to say that we too, will have everything provided for us when urgent times come.He trusted in Adam and Eve, whose adversity started when they turned their ears away from Him and ate the forbidden fruit (Gen 36). Or in the story of Cain and Abel, Cain chooses not to listen to G od and committed homicide against his brother Abel (Gen 48) and is then sent out to Nod. Yet again, another misfortune happened when multitudes wife ignored the commands of the Lord and looked back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, only to be turned into a pillar of salt (Gen 1926). all in all these stories show how much God trusts in humanity but we either do not listen to his wishes or trust in Him, and because of this disobedience in that location are severe penalties. And this trend only continues throughout the bible.Abraham, on the other hand, conceded to his rules and does as he is told without even the slightest hesitation. He made his slow venture up the mountain, to the exact place God had shown him, and, builds the altar then ties his son up and getting him ready for the sacrificing (Gen 229). But at this point the Lord halt him. Without shame, for he did as he was told, he announced Here I am (Gen 22 11). This is unlike Adam whom has to hide himself for goin g against the Lords will previous in chapter three of Genesis. And unlike in chapter three, instead of getting reprimanded and punished, Abraham is blessed by the Lord (Gen 22 16-19), for he did what he was told even though it was a great loss in his family.
