Abraham and Issac--Abraham had trusted God for many other things first. If the first experience Abraham had with God was him telling him to sacrifice Issac he could be legitimately questioned about how sure he was that this was really from God and not a trick from Satan instead. But he knew that God was good through his ongoing relationship for years prior to this. He believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness, which is more assuring than the feelings we sometimes get when we are trying to do what is right.
