Thinking About Our Faith
Focus Scripture(s):
Hebrews 11 (NIV)
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for....4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did....5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away...”6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family....8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."
Overview:
The word for the day is "faith." What if we replace all the names mentioned in Hebrews 11 with our name? The greatest fight we will ever have is the fight between what we know and our faith. This will be a constant running battle. The currency that is used in Heaven is faith. It is impossible to please God without faith. The question is what do we believe?
