powerful: God tested Abraham,

Abraham was tested through
his son.
Sarah through her virtue and faith.
Isaac through his willingness to

![[We talk patriarchs — but matriarchs shaped Israel.] Come Follow Me 2026 Old Testament | Abraham, Isaac & Jacob — but Sarah, Rebekah & Rachel shaped the covenant story.
“Maybe it’s time we talk more about the
matriarchs.
Because covenant faith wasn’t carried by
fathers alone — it was protected,
nurtured, and FULFILLED through faithful
women who believed.”
Jared
Leave a 🩵 for the MATRIARCHS of The Covenant.
“We often say “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” But look closer at Genesis. The covenant promise flows through Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel. The promised seed, the covenant lineage, the future of Israel — it moved through mothers who believed.”

>>> Covenant tests aren’t always about proving loyalty.
Sometimes they are about deepening trust.
“Sarah, will you lay your virtue on the
altar…
Trusting AGAIN that God can preserve it
somehow?”
Sarah had already proven her faith.
Already left home.
Already walked the covenant path.
And yet… the test returned.
Not “Will you obey?”
But “Will you trust Me again?”

![[Why did Lot’s wife really look back?] In today's Come Follow Me 2026 LDS Old Testament study (Genesis, Sodom and Gomorrah), we see how a FLOOD of FIRE mirrors Noah’s flood of water — both consequences of sin.
But the real warning isn’t about fire.
It’s about longing for what God is asking you to leave behind.
Forward-focused faith is discipleship in Jesus Christ.
Fresh insights on Lot’s wife to 💾 Save for your scripture study! ✈️ Share with friends.
Leave a 🩵 for Jared’s unique insights here on Lot’s wife:
“… this is part of the salt thing.
Some of you even wonder, is that
literal?
It's just boom. She's like, crystallized,
or is it simply, no if you look back and
end up going back and returning to
Sodom and Gomorrah when it is
destroyed by fire and brimstone from
above, and then ended up swallowed
up in the waters of the Dead Sea.
There's the ruins, ahh salt.
So rather than some literal statue,
could it simply be she ended up
returning to Sodom and Gomorrah and
being consumed in its destruction,
and she now stands AS A PILLAR.
She stands as an example, a MONUMENT
to lowered standards, a monument to
one's failure to fully repent, to slide
back into sin with no intention of
permanently leaving it.”
Jared

Only Jesus Christ fulfills all three.
Give a 🩵 for what Jared learned from Abraham– “If I could I could go back and do my mission all over again, I think that might be my new golden question as I knocked on people's doors.
{Like Abraham] Have you ever wanted greater happiness, greater peace, or greater rest in your life?
