Verse from Genesis

“这些事以后，神试验亚伯拉罕，对他说：“亚伯拉罕啊！”他回答：“我在这里。””

‭‭创世记‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭

“Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭

Genesis 22:1, 15–18 make it clear that God tested Abraham to examine his heart. While God may test our faith and obedience (James 1:2–4), He never tempts us to do wrong (v. 13). 

The writer of Hebrews commended the patriarch’s deep faith: “Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again” (Hebrews 11:19 nlt). 

The apostle James said that “Abraham was shown to be right with God by his actions when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. . . . His actions made his faith complete” (James 2:21–22 nlt).
