Hebrews Chapter 11 Discussion Page 3

Faith is the foundation of christainity

Vs. 11

Many people believe faith to be a blind trust. However, the definition the Bible gives shows that it is based on solid evidence. We can trust the promises that Jehovah God has made in the Bible. We have many examples that shows he is a God of his word. He will put an end to wickedness, and he will allow the righteous to inherit the earth.

Faith, believing with all we have mind, body and soul anything is possible through the word of God. Christ said having faith a grain of mustard seed, you could command a mountain to move and so it shall be done. Without faith hope is not provided proper justice.

To Lily,
We don't have to work hard to seek GOD's approval. We must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Without faith it's impossible to please him. Obey God and trust in HIS word.

To Jackie Phillips - You are the 1st person I've ever seen make an 'Olympic event' out of Bible scripture.
How did you do that?

Verse 6 helps us to see that earnestly and diligently seeking Jehovah God means that we have to work very hard if we want his approval

to Harry, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for", submission to GOD's will, in faith. As opposed to "with faith is the substance of things hoped for", a selfish faith seeking one's own will. True faith must begin with submission to the LORD. Man's will must yield to the LORD, not the LORD to man's will. (hope that helps?)

Why it starts with a phrase that goes now faith is the substance of things hoped for not with faith is substance of things hoped for

the realm of faith is the only place to experience the life of god

how many times in the verses of Hebrews 11 are attributed to gods testimony about Abraham I know that moses is second runner up

wow gospels
word of life

The only way to please God is to have faith.

Without faith it impossible to please God

The Book of Hebrews has been, at times, a source of strength and comfort for me. When the trials of life seem harder than usual; when death has surrounded me; when the love of friends and family seems to have fled, studying and memorizing from Hebrews chapter 11 has led me back to the wonder of God's love.

In verse 7 it says take nothing from Gentiles (or non-believers) Then you have verse 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. Receive what We must be fellow helpers to spread the truth to all that will hear That take $

Darrell, The tithe is OT, With the New Covenant of Jesus Christ the tithe is abolished.
Read 3 John 1:1-8. V.7 "Ask for nothing." To give a gift is always good.

Vanna, you say don't fight, it is just a bible that teaches us how to live. Read Jude 1:3, Job 13:8, 2 Corinthians 10:5, etc. God says FIGHT, you say don't. These verses teach us how we are to in part; live in faith, walk in truth, fight the good fight. Test the spirits with God's word.

It does not matter it is just a bible that teaches us how we are to live. We do not need to fight over the bible. We are lukky to even have a guide.

Sorry that was Malachi 3:6-10

Responding to Udal Lawrence Read Malachi 2:6-10 This is why we should pay tithes He will bless for doing this

While is tithe so much prounced in this day new generation churches that it was during the time of jesus? It is like we are today having commercial churches and pastors than people caring for their members salvation. The truth is that christ did not ask disciples to live by tithe or did the earlier aposples ask their followers to collect or live by tithe, my question is why now.

I love it in that you shine more light to the topic of the day.GOD bless you

See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. - Deuteronomy 32:39 KJB

That verse says...

If God wants me alive, I need no gun
If God wants me dead, a gun will do me no good

That is faith.

Now Faith is Faith right now !!! Faith is a tangible force and can be taken hold of with our heart and believed in : I believe that I must have a word from God to be able to stand in Faith : I have it NOW which is His word : I hear from God every day when I pick up His word and read it . I read His word out loud , because Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

I believe in God's Holy word and that Faith is what God's really means.

I think this is a wonderful scripture. to me it is one of the most important and powerful scripture. if I believe in him then I must believe in his word.

As moses did so should we.. practice righteousness not sin

Thier still liveing by faith on the promise from god that in the future they will be in his kingdom and then they will be at home

They did have the promise of the things to come but they did not yet obtain them while they were yet here in a foreign land but looked to the future to recieve the things promised.if we long for the kingdom of god and his promises of the future we will live and die by faith.if we have ni desire for them then how can it he by faith

Always an inspiration to reread Hebrew 11. Gives me new hope, strength, and courage for all my struggles.
