Genesis 22:15–18 "The Gates of Hades Overcome"

Back in the story of the sacrifice of Isaac, and zooming in on God's oath, we learn about the outcome of the spiritual war that has been going on since the serpent arrived in the Garden. God tells Abraham that his descendants will triumph against their enemies. God has staked the glory of His own reputation on overcoming the sin, hell, and the devil. And since He’s tied His own name to this project of salvation, our participation in it should be marked by confidence.
