God will never bless a deceiver. He gave him a strike on the hip. After the punishment he blessed him. Whenever there is an uncleanness we will have a fight with the Lord.
Before Abraham built a house, Lot already built one. He closes the door behind him. He is very powerful father and the daughters are obedient girls because in such terrible city he could have daughters that are still virgins.
Abraham was reckoned righteous because of his faith and it is even before his circumcision. Circumcision is not the righteousness but it is a seal of the righteousness he got by faith.
Here it was not said that God tested Abraham's faith. But it was said later that God told him that He came to know that Abraham fears God. Abraham's faith issue was already settled in chapter 15. Now it is 22nd chapter. There are many believers. Out of 100 people that have faith, only few of them have fear of God. Saul has faith, otherwise he would have not sent David to fight Goliath. If David fails Saul got become slave. Saul believed and sent David. But Saul has no fear of God.
