Abraham's Obedience to God's Command
Abraham's obedience to offer his son Isaac is highlighted in the first reading from Genesis 22. Although controversial, his act of obedience is seen as a demonstration of his faith. This obedience is significant as it is linked to the concept of justification by works, emphasizing the role of good deeds in maintaining a right relationship with God. This narrative challenges the Protestant belief of faith alone justifying individuals, presenting obedience and works as essential components.
