My response to Child’s Story of the Bible
Recently, I am reading a book entitled Child’s Story of the Bible. Up to now, I have read fifteen stories in the old testament. Now, it’s necessary for me to explain the structure of this book, including the old testament and the new testament. I will introduce some main plots to you.
Everything has a start, the world without exception. Away back in the beginning of things, it’s said that God made the sky and the earth from scratch we are living in. Totally, God spent six long days to build a captivating and comfortable homeland for human beings: on the first day, he created Day in the light and Night in the darkness which make up a day; on the second day, he separated clouds from …show more content…

Abram, who is always one and remembers God, keeping his name alive in the world, married a barren wife, Sarai. As God has told him, with his nephew and wife, he came to the land of Canaan, the promised land but lacking food here. Therefore, coming back to Bethel, where he made the alter before, and worshipped God there, he was loaded and parted from his nephew, Lot. God planned to destroy wicked people living in Sodom and Gomorrah, but prevented from doing so, for Abram besought him to spare them if ten good could be found in them. After all, Lot lived in Sodom. God warned the family of Lot not to look behind them if they wanted to escape for their life, but Lot’s wife is an exception, disobeying God and looking back to see the burning cities, so she became a pillar of salt. Before this, God had promise Abram that he would bear a child, called Isaac, although they were almost one hundred years old. Again, he told him that he should be the father of many nations, changing Abram’s name to Abraham, which means “Father of many people”, and Sarai’s name to Sarah, which means “Princess”. Before long, his promise came true. Interestingly, there having been heathen people around them sometimes killed their children as a sacrifice to these idols who were been worshipped by these fools. God one day told Abraham to take his only son Isaac and offer him upon a mountain called Moriah as a burnt …show more content…

God is incomprehensible to him, but he still chose to believe in God, rose up early with his son coming to the mountain top and made an altar of stones. To be honest, as far as I am concerned, Abraham shouldn’t have done it, now that he believes in God, he should know his great and unique God is completely different from other idols. Therefore, God haven’t considered ever using a person to be a burnt offering. God is an invincible existence with great wisdom. If you are right, he couldn’t get a capital punishment. Be true to our integrity, and no one could find your fault. Abraham is survived by his wife Sarah, living to more than one hundred years old. After he died, all the people came and mourned at the burial of the father, the friend of God, and Father of the faithful. This passage mentioned it in the beginning that Abraham would be the father of many nations. He is well-known for his great faith, composed of three things: knowledge, conviction and trust. To some extent, God is spiritual support in people’s minds, not only forgiving his children who made mistakes, but also saving them from sins and out of dilemma. From my hearts, he is true and kind to his kids, not ever deceiving them to do what is against the world.
