21.What kind of faith offered up Isaac?

The faith of absolute obedience, trust, and hope.

Notice that the faith of Hebrews, Chapter 11 is not the faith of adherence to the statement of faith of a Christian organization. The term faith often is used to indicate a set of beliefs: the Christian faith; the Hindu faith; the Muslim faith; the Southern Baptist statement of faith.

Christian statements of faith may have items such as the following: "I believe in the virgin birth; I believe in the resurrection of the dead." Great emphasis is placed on adherence to such items of belief. However, these beliefs are not the faith that saves us.

The faith that saves us is described in Hebrews, Chapter 11. It is the faith of absolute obedience, trust, and hope.
