Hebrews 11 gives us a wonderful hold back at religious belief - its substance, actions, as well as results:
1. It’s trusting what nosotros don’t see. 11:1-2: “Now religious belief is confidence inward what nosotros hope for as well as assurance close what nosotros exercise non see. This is what the ancients were commended for.”
2. It’s believing inward intentional beauty inward a civilisation that believes inward accidental beauty (Only a Fool.
3. It’s giving God our best (We Make Time For Important Things.
4. It’s believing God sees what nosotros exercise as well as rewards us if nosotros essay Him (11:6).
5. It’s obeying God's commands, fifty-fifty when they don't brand feel at the minute (11:7).(1)
6. It’s believing inward the hereafter promises (11:8-13).
7. It's living counterculture (11:14-16).
8. It’s growing from testing as well as trials (6 Things Suffering Taught Me.
9. It’s believing God tin shipping away give us a hereafter inward spite of our past times (11:31).
10. It’s close earthly victories, healing, as well as rewards (11:32-35).
11. It’s close hardship, suffering, as well as sometimes paying the ultimate earthly cost (God Uses Bad People.
Take fourth dimension to ponder about of these wonderful elements of Christian faith!
