This document discusses the life and importance of Abraham through the biblical story of his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac at God's command. It provides biblical passages about obedience, faith, testing, and refining believers as precious metals. The key event discussed is the moment when Abraham took Isaac to Mount Moriah to sacrifice him, seeing this as a prototype "Moriah moment" where believers offer something irreplaceable to God, resulting in transformation.

3. “I will refine them as silver is refined, and
test them as gold is tested. They will call
upon Me, and I will answer them. I will say,
‘This is My people’, and each one will say,
‘The LORD is my God.’”
Zachariah 13:9
4. “The genuineness of your faith being much
more precious than gold that perishes,
though it be tested by fire, may be found to
praise, honor and glory of Jesus Christ.”
1 Peter 1:7
5. “God knows the way that I take, and when
He has tested me, I shall come forth as
gold.”
Job 23:10
6. “Count it all joy, my brethren, when you fall
into various trials, knowing that the testing
of your faith produces patience. But let
patience have its perfect work, that you
may be perfect, complete, lacking nothing.”
James 1:2-3
7. NATURE OF TESTING
Testing is not necessarily a sign that you’re doing
anything wrong. It may, indeed, be a sign that
you’re doing everything right.
Testing is for both, the babe in Christ and the
seasoned saint.
Testing has less to do with evaluating and more to
do with purifying in order to be more Christlike.
