See what God sees

God said to Abraham, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." (Gen 22:2)

For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise. (Gal 4:22-23) These things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from bondwoman gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar, Mount Sinai, Old Covenant, the law. But the one from freewoman is free, which is Sarah, Mount Zion, New Covenant, Jesus Christ. If Abraham had two sons then why God said "your only son Isaac"? Because God does not consider the flesh but only the promise. If God only look at the promise which is Jesus Christ, why are we still looking at the other one? Hear Him!
