Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Hebrews 11-13.
In today's reading, Paul talks about faith.
Hebrews 11:1-3 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, sot hat what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
Hebrews 11:6 - And 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 seek Him.
Paul then goes on to list people who obeyed God in faith, or because of faith:
Abel
Enoch
Noah
Abraham
Sarah
Isaac
Jacob
Joseph
Moses
And then Paul declares that he will run out of time if he details all the examples, going on to simply list the names of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets.
By faith these received the promises of God. By faith, they walked in obedience to God. By faith, they experienced the miracles of God.
And by faith, so can we.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read James 1-5.
