Generation

Genesis 22:8 states, "Abraham said, 'God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.' So they went both of them together" (ESV). This verse foreshadows the doctrine of justification by faith, as Abraham trusts God to provide the sacrifice rather than relying on his own works—a trust that was "counted to him as righteousness" (Genesis 15:6). Ultimately, it points to God providing Jesus Christ as the substitutionary sacrifice, through whom believers are justified by faith alone.
