Romans 12:1 (NIV)

See Genesis 22:1-18

“Some years later God decided to test Abraham, so He spoke to him. Abraham answered, "Here I am, Lord.” Genesis 22:1

"This is what the Lord says: Because you have obeyed Me and have not withheld even your beloved son, I swear by My own self that I will bless you richly.” Genesis 22:16-17(NLT)

MARVEL & REJOICE

“Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be destroyed, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping Him with holy fear and awe.” Hebrews 12:28 (NLT)

“At that moment the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven…’Lay down the knife. Do not hurt the boy in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld even your beloved son from Me.’” Genesis 22:1-18 (NLT)
