It is possible to experience God’s love when we know God intimately and trust him completely?

Genesis 22:1-13 - The Binding of Issac

When God tests us it is always in a controlled environment.

This story is the first place in Scripture we read the word “love”…

How do we look forward to what is /possible/ in the future? We look /back/ to Scripture.

Worshiping God is about trusting Him with everything about your today /and/ your tomorrow.

Question # 1: Are you willing to listen to God?

Experiencing God’s love is possible because God took the initiative to speak to us.

Question # 2: Are you willing to trust God with what you love and care about on this earth?

Trusting God begins living from a place of openhandedness with what God has given us.

If we live from a place of close-handedness with what God has given us, then we live with idols.

You can’t see what’s possible when you are bowing before an idol.

Question # 3: Are you willing to follow God and be obedient even when times are tough, and circumstances don’t make sense?

Even though Abraham didn’t know the end of the story he trusted God enough to know he was in the midst of the story.

If you’re not able to trust God with what you love most in this world, you’re not ready to follow Jesus. God will not compete for priority in our lives.

God didn’t ask Abraham anything he wasn’t willing to do for Abraham.
