Hall Of Faith
I think we can justly call Hebrews 11 " The Hall of Faith. '
Hebrews 11
By Faith
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for.
3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for , evidence of things not seen.
Substance is like the title deed . OUr faith is our title deed to eternal life . Just as a title deed is evidence of real estate , so our faith is evidence of our eternal estate in God .. I like to think that I have real estate in heaven
OUr great example of faith is Jesus . Faith is more than belief in God ; it is a way of life .
As we read on in this chapter we are reminded of the heros in the faith . That's why I love this chapter. We see also they were not perfect but they trusted God and gave their lives to Him .
I can say that faith with no effort is no faith at all .
Hebrews is my favourite Book because it is , exhortation , warnings, consolation and assurance all there.
Judiasm is also discussed as we see the superioty of Christ argued point by point agaisnt the claims of Judiasm
