The assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).
By Faith
- Men received divine approval (Hebrews 11:2).
- We understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear (Hebrews 11:3).
- We offer to God an acceptable sacrifice through which we received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting our gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking (Hebrews 11:4).
- We shall not see death for God will take because He is pleased (Hebrews 11:5).
- Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith (Hebrews 11:7).
Without Faith
It is impossible to please God. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him (Hebrews 11:6).
Faith comes from
What is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)
