1. Take your son whom you love (1-12).
Later, God tested Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice Isaac on Mt. Moriah. The Lord said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love..." (2). God wanted to test if Abraham loved God more than Isaac. Early the next morning, Abraham took his son and set out. After three days, they left the servants and went on alone. When Isaac inquired about the sacrifice, Abraham told him God himself would provide the lamb. By faith, Abraham built the altar, bound his son, and drew the knife. Then God called out to Abraham to stop because he had passed the test. Abraham demonstrated that he feared God more than he loved his one and only son.

2. All nations will be blessed (13-24).
God provided a ram to be caught in a bush, and Abraham sacrificed it on the altar. Then God promised that because of his obedience, Abraham's descendants would be numerous and victorious. Moreover, all nations on earth would be blessed through them. Abraham's faith and obedience became a source of blessing to all.
