What happened at the Isaac offering and its theological significance

Genesis 22:12 ('Do not lay your hand on the lad... for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son') shows what 'justification' at the Isaac event meant: Abraham's faith was demonstrated and confirmed as real. God (or the angel) says 'now I know' — the faith was validated by the action. This matches James's use of 'justified' as vindication/demonstration.
