How does the story of Abraham and Isaac relate to the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Abraham and Isaac serves as a typological foreshadowing of Christ's sacrificial death for our sins.

The narrative of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22 serves as a profound type pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. Abraham is seen as a father who was willing to sacrifice his only son, reflecting God the Father’s willingness to offer His Son, Jesus, for the sins of humanity. The exchange in which the ram takes Isaac's place illustrates God’s provision for atonement through Jesus Christ. Throughout Scripture, this typological understanding emphasizes that the redemptive plan was always in place, showing the continuity of God's work in pursuing the redemption of His people through the one true Lamb.
