There is an understanding of God that a man will have that can only be gotten through faith in God and in His son Jesus Christ.

#Faith

There are sacrifices we give unto God, be it sacrifices of our heart or of our substance that are sacrifices of #Faith.

Like Abel and Solomon, God responded to Abraham's sacrifice of faith. See Hebrews 11:17

#Faith

It is by #Faith that we can please God, for through this we learn of the testimony of Enoch -- the man that walked with God for 300 years and did not see death.

Hebrews 11:5-6
Genesis 5:21-24

It is by #Faith that we become heirs of God's inheritance and joint-heirs with Christ.

Hebrews 11:7
Romans 8:17

Our walk with God is by #Faith (Hebrews 11:9), & through #Faith we can solely depend on God or blindly depend on God as Abraham did when he searched for a city whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews 11:10

What are you looking for in life? Is it of God? Does it show forth God?

By #Faith we receive strength from God.

Strength for exploits like Gideon - Judges 6.

Strength for conception like Sarah - Hebrews 11:11

Strength for healing, for deliverance.

Strength to persevere in the face of adversity & affliction like Job, Daniel & the 3 Hebrew boys.

By #Faith we are ushered into the blessings of God that is yet to come (Hebrews 11:20-21), and we hold unto His promises because He is a faithful God.
Hebrews 11:22

By #Faith we are immune to the fear pervading the world (Hebrews 11:23b) choosing rather to obey God than the evil and uncertainties that surround us.

By #Faith we refuse what the world call us.

Instead we focus on what God calls us = heirs of salvation, joint-heirs with Christ, victorious people, a people belonging to God, wealthy people, healthy people.
Hebrews 11:24-25

By #Faith Moses, Daniel, esteemed the reward of their sufferings to be far greater than the affliction and reproach they were faced with.
Hebrews 11:25-26

By #Faith we war against principalities and powers, destroy strongholds, deliver captives, rescue those in bondage and overcome evil manipulation.

Hebrews 11:30

The most important and ultimate part of our #Faith is that: by #Faith we obtain salvation through the death of Jesus Christ.

Will you accept HIM today?

Hebrews 11:31
Ephesians 2:8
Revelation 3:20
