Abraham
His Personal Trial of Faith
Faith said I believe in God Works said Ill
show you how much.

• He had a perfect faith a faith that grew to
  maturity!

Was not Abraham our father justified by works
when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do
you see that faith was working together with his
works, and by works faith was made perfect? And
the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness." And he was called the friend of
God. You see then that a man is justified by
works, and not by faith only. (James 221-24)
