Abraham is a role model when it comes to having faith in God. People should emulate the faith and love that Abraham had in God. If you are going to look to emulate Abraham, you shouldn’t emulate him to where you are going to be “sacrificing” someone’s life to prove your faith. Instead you should just realize that all that this means is you should always have the utmost faith and confidence in your God.

To “sacrifice” someone’s life brings up another interesting point.

Back in the days of the Bible, it was common for people to “sacrifice” lives in honor of a god or belief. In today’s day and age it would be frowned upon in society to “sacrifice” a life in honor of a religious belief. The person would be considered a murderer and there would be no sacrificing when it came to their punishment. However, if in the times of the Bible, a god spoke to you and asked you to make a sacrifice, you would be frowned upon if you didn’t follow through and do as you were told to do. The authorities wouldn’t consider you a murderer because you would have been making a “sacrifice” for a religious cause. Today, whether your cause was religious or not you would be considered a murderer. If you didn’t go through with the “sacrifice” you would not get in trouble for murder, but rather in trouble for ‘attempted’ murder. It will be extremely hard to convince a jury that you were going to kill your son because you were told to do so by a religious spirit. The fact that the times are so different you can’t really compare them.

I think another reason Abraham receives so much praise is because he was put into a position to receive it. Think about it, if God picked a single man to display his strong faith then there must have been a reason. If Abraham was worth enough to receive praise from God about his faith, is he not worthy enough of us for us to give him praise? Had Abraham not been selected, and not written about in holiest book of the Catholic religion, the Bible, he would not receive the praise he does, but the fact he is represented in the Bible for his great faith shows that he deserves all that comes his way.

Also, Abraham had been chosen by God. This is probably why God prevented Abraham from committing the murder. God always knows what is going to happen, so God knew how much devotion Abraham had for him, and He knew that Abraham would be willing to take his son’s life in order to prove his love for God. God knew that he could prevent the murder and then use Abraham as an example and as a role model for complete devotion and faith.

Preachers must also praise Abraham to show that God is present in our lives. By telling the story and making Abraham look like a hero for having such a strong faith, preacher
