ABRAHAM
Gold tried in fire
Abraham offers his own son as a willing sacrifice for the glory of God. He stands as one who did not hold back anything from his God, but was willing to surrender everything for the purpose of fulfilling the will of God. We see this same attitude in the Lord Jesus Christ when he said, "John 4:34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. (NIV)

Abraham taught his son Isaac about worship
Abraham taught his son Isaac well about the true meaning of worship, [sacrifice] and the awesome responsibility of serving Yehovah his God. It is our responsibility to learn the Scriptures pertaining to the character of God and all his holiness in order to have a proper perspective of genuine worship.

We are living sacrifices according to Paul
The apostle Paul admonishes us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, which is acceptable unto God as a reasonable service. Romans 12:1. Isaac is truly exhibited as a living sacrifice unto God and one who completely trusts in his God.

The responsibility of parents toward their children
Parents are responsible for teaching their children how to worship the true and living God. The Lord specifically told Moses to instruct the parents to instill the fear of the Lord into them. The fear of the Lord is a guard against the snares of death. The Lord constantly warned the people against worshipping other gods, which is a direct offense to the first Commandment.
