Faith, 10of11

~ Faith Evidenced in the Lives of 5 Individuals ~

Abel Offered  ~  “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks” (Hebrews 11:4). …

Enoch Pleased  ~  … “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, ‘and was not found, because God had taken him"’; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). …

Abraham Obeyed & Traveled  ~  … “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance.  And he went out, not knowing where he was going.  By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God”” (Hebrews 11:8-10). …
