Abraham

We get lots of amazing facts about Abraham from chapter 1 of the Book of Abraham from the Pearl of Great Price.

  1. He somehow maintained great faith and righteous desires in a very wicked society and with no home or family support (v.1). 
  2. He had to witness the human sacrifice of three pure and righteous young women who were his contemporaries. And this because they refused to bow down to the false gods.
  3. His own father was wicked an idolatrous, and was involved in human sacrifices to pagan gods. And he allowed him, his own son, to be offered up to the priest of Pharaoh as a human sacrifice. 
  4. He was miraculously saved at the last possible minute, on the sacrificial altar, by Jehova himself. He spoke face to face with the angel of the presence of Jehova (v.15).
So basically, Abraham was rock solid.
