The believer-God relationship has to be based on trust, truth, faithfulness, and faith. But would there be limits to this submission and fidelity? We see the clear biblical example when Yahweh in order to test the love of Abraham asks him to go up the mountain and sacrifice his son in worship to him. Even though Abraham has an immense love for his son, Abraham accepts the proposal, climbs the mountain, and at the moment of his immolation, the angel of Yahweh appears and prevents him. God did not want human sacrifice was like I said just a test of fidelity. Yahweh, my father, is the God of life in abundance.

By submitting readily to the Lord's will, Abraham became an example of courage and total surrender to the designs of the Creator. This must be our relationship with God: A mutual exchange where the human being gives himself body and soul to his mission regardless of the results or necessary requirements. The greatest commandment of all is thus fulfilled: "To love God above all things." To the father all honor, glory and adoration always.
