Question

Why does the story of Abraham and Isaac have special significance for Christians? (Abraham is asked to sacrifice Isaac {hopefully you know the rest of the story}) I only put this as history bc there’s no theology option

Answer 1

When Abraham was told by God to sacrifice Isaac, he follows his orders, and God saw that Abraham was going to follow his orders, so he allowed him to keep his son by having an angel tell him, and the angel then placed a ram where the son was to be sacrificed.

Its important to Christians because of what Abraham had to go through and how his actions of following God allowed him to be safe.
