Isaac
Born to his parents, Abraham and Sarah, when they were in their old age, Isaac was a child of promise and heir to his father’s fortune. The scriptures say that Isaac was a “lad” when he accompanied his father and was prepared to become a sacrifice (see Genesis 22:3–19). He learned from his father to follow the Lord’s guidance and show faith; then Isaac’s life was preserved.
