Instead, Abraham willingness to sacrifice Isaac stands as a testimony to the world of his justification received 25 years before.

Amen!

FWIW, after God stopped Abraham's hand isn't it interesting that a substitute sacrifice was in the thicket. A Ram stuck by its horns. Jesus probably reminded the two believers on the road to Emmaus about this.

Luke 24:27...He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Notice Luke identifies the “breaking of bread” with the opening of scriptures.

Luke 24:27-35, “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.”

Amen. The same Holy Spirit who indwells you and me is the exact same Holy Spirit who indwelt Abraham and all the OT prophets, according to the will of God...

"Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying: 'Where is He who brought them up out of the sea With the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them'" -- Isaiah 63:11

Good point. And where Isaac was bound with ropes and laid upon the alter, our Lord Jesus willingly laid down His life. It's also important to note that Abraham's faith was such that he did not believed he was going to sacrifice Isaac but God would raise him up from the dead because of his promise.
