Genesis 17:1 And when Abraham was ninety-nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the All-sufficient God, walk before Me, and be perfect. Amen. God wants to bring us into the enjoyment of grace, but there is a frustration to this grace - the self. We ourselves are the frustration. Although Christ has come and grace has come with Him, and although we have been brought into the grace in which we stand, the greatest frustration to the grace is you and I. Hence, before we can have the experience of Isaac, we need Abraham who represents the first aspect of the experience od life. Abrahams life reveals that if we would enjoy Gods grace and have the full enjoyment of Gods riches we must be dealt with, circumcised, and cut off. (Crystallization-Study of Genesis. Volume four pgs 478-479)
