Why did God test Abraham?
God tested Abraham to know him, to see in action how far Abraham trusted and honoured Him. At the top Abraham built the altar, bound his son and took the knife. A voice from heaven said his name twice. For the third time in the chapter Abraham answered, "Here I am" (Genesis 22:11). Then came the sentence that explains the test: "now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me" (Genesis 22:12).
