We see the major parts of Abraham’s in these chapters: His covenant and worship of God, but also his sin of faithlessness that led to Ishmael’s birth and the conflict between Ishmael and Isaac’s offspring, and how his lack of persistence in prayer contributed to Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction. Despite his imperfections, Abraham’s unwavering faith even when asked to sacrifice his son Isaac is a foreshadowing of Christ.
