~ Aspects of Faith ~
The 11th
chapter of Hebrews is a series of memorials to the trials and triumphs of
faith:
Wisdom of Faith
~ “Now faith
is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders
obtained a good testimony” (Hebrews 11:1-2) …
Warrant of Faith
~ … “By
faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that the
things which are seen were not made of things which are visible” (Hebrews 11:3)
….
Worship of Faith
~ … “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) …
Walk of Faith
~ … “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. But without faith it
is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews
11:5-6).
