Isaac, the imperfect patriach of faith

The Bible is full of flawed characters who were graciously blessed by God. The Christmas list in Matthew's gospel is full of them and Isaac was one of them. The record of his life is without spectacular event or great achievement. He had some obvious flaws, yet his name is recorded among the fathers of our faith.
In Beersheba he "called on the name of the Lord" at the altar he built and remained in the land as God had commanded him.
The thing most notable, is God's blessing on him in the likeness of his blessing on Abraham. God was with him and would bless him and for that reason he should not fear (Gen.26:24 - 25).
He was chosen by grace and receive the promise by faith.
This too is our simple testimony. We are saved by grace through faith and in this we too are the children of Abraham (Gal 3:7).
