Introduction - JSS1 Christian Religious Studies Lesson Note

In the land of Canaan, Abraham continued to trust God. When Abraham was ninety years old, God appeared to him and made a covenant (agreement) with him, which also extends to his descendants.

The second was to sacrifice his only son Isaac.
