When we study the names of God, we must understand that they describe His character. Since the names of God declare His attributes, we are not surprised that the revelation of God's wisdom and grace in Abraham's near-sacrifice of his son brings with it another of God's names: Jehovah Jireh, which means "the Lord will provide." Genesis 22 records the greatest test that Abraham ever faced. It also presents a beautiful picture of our Lord's sacrifice at Calvary. God tested Abraham's faith.
