None. When Isaac was in his twenties, Abraham followed God's command and prepared to sacrifice him on an alter, but God stopped him before it happened.(Genesis 22:9-13). This account was included to show Abraham's faithfulness and trust in God, making him a worthy patriarch for God's original 'chosen people', the Nation of Israel(Deuteronomy 10:12-14 + 14:2)(Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23). It also pictured the depth of love God showed when allowing HIS son to be sacrificed in behalf of sinful mankind(Hebrews 11:17-19)(James 2:21). Along with that, it showed that if we are obedient to God in all things, God will not forget the 'love we show for his name'(1 John 5:3)(1 John 4:10)(Hebrews 6:10).
