Hebrews Chapter 11 Discussion Page 7

I UNDERSTAND FAITH, IT IS EVIDENCE UNSEEN THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

It is
will be
ill show you
it will be manefested
his will will be done

Verse:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I heard heb 11.1 last night like never before. Like you Susan the Holy Spirit to me to define substance and it brought and u understanding i never had for the scripture. Glory to God

Because the enemy knows that the only way we can receive from God and please Him is thru faith,that's why he keeps attacking it,but dat devil is a liar!

indeed faith is a substance of things hope for but evidence of things not seen

faith is beleiving that something will happen, must be a gift from GOD that is given as grace.

Is it ok to seek a reward from God? Hebrews 11:6. Wow!

it is the only way that we can make n life if we believe
gods word

faith is what every person need inorder to succeed in life.God is always there to help us if we have faith.

Faith is what we need to please God at all times,for with out it we cant please Him.For our fairh is all we have other than God's word.

Blessed are they that live by faith.

I think anything is possible with God. Only He has the power to change one individual or person, and no one else is.

This hope of which Hebrews talks about is the promise made by the Father that if we do His will, we already have a place with Him. That is a sure thing. That is the substance. If we exercise faith, that substance is guaranteed. Whereas we can say I hope it doesn't rain, but nothing is guaranteed. Therefore it is not hope but a wishful thinking that may or may not come to pass. However, the promise made by God is a sure thing conditioned on our trust in Him.

Salvation depends on Faith in Christ alone. So, knowing I can trust Him to save my soul from hell and destruction. While I walk this dark world, my soul knows that I can have Faith in Jesus Christ, even when my sight tells me to doubt. Amen and Amen.

By faith, everything is possible. No matter how great the situation is, God is there to lift us up, only if we have faith in him.

The only way we can please GOD is by faith. GOD has given us all a measure of faith.

"Hoped". Why not "hope". Things we "Hope" for are in a future sense. Example: I hope it does not rain, but it did rain. Or I hoped it would not rain and it did not. Past tense or future tense. Hoped versus Hope, "Hoped"; states it is already done. That is why "Faith is the substance of things Hoped for, The Evidence of things not seen". Our Salvation is complete in Christ Jesus. The evidence is in our Faith that God The Father has gifted us with. Faith is given by God, to us. We have not seen the completion of our Salvation, yet in Christ Jesus it is complete.

Whatever that is not of Faith is sin. Without Faith it is impossible to Please God!

Faith is also accepting what God says is, then is. What He says was, then was. What is going to be will be. What he says we are, then we are. What He says we have, then we have. What He says we can do, then we can.

Faith is about always believing in God, no matter how good or bad your situation is. I know that God exists.

WOW!!! THE HOLY SPIRIT spoke to me and told me to look up definition of substance and evidence that goes with Hebrews 11:1, I found this link and I am starting to understand it better.

This simply means by believing you own and you receive on a day and time known by God. Remember your plans are not God's plans with you, you should not ask anything to please you, but God ( James 4:3). Your child believes that he/she will receive if he/she asks parents. God is your parent. BELIEVE, OWN AND RECEIVE. God bless you.

I think it’s a very powerful verse. Trusting and putting your faith in GOD ALONE!

Yes! Glory be to our God, the savior for his unmerited favor (Grace) to give to everyone who seeks Him, faith through our Lord Jesus Christ, for the righteous shall live by faith Romans 1:17.

I love Hebrews such a great book on faith. Faith comes by just believing just what the Lord tells us to do . Take him at his word.Once we read it and study the word of God.It says be a doer not just a hearer of his word. James1:22
That is if we expect to go back with him when he returns.Happy Reading!

I love this chapter. What I have learned is reading the Word of God is easy, but, be obedient is something else totally different. Faith without works is dead. Having the Holy Spirit keep me in perfect peace while trials and tribulations are trying to destory me shows me God IS a God of His Word. I've learned how to depend on Jesus because HE will never leave nor forsake me. I love HIM!

All of these in the Hall of Faith obtained a good report through faith, but they did not receive the promise. They were looking for a city,that hath foundations, whose builder, and maker is God.
We too are pilgrims, and strangers in this world, and we like them are looking for a city. The new Jerusalem, that will come as promised by our Lord. Jesus said let not your heart be troubled, for you believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, so that where I am, there ye may be also. Thank God that Jesus went to the cross, and paid our sin debt. He is risen, and now is seated at the right hand of the Father. He is coming back to take us to live with Him in heaven. We will all receive the promise of God, and be made perfect with all those old testament saints who walked by faith. Yes faith is our victory over this world. The scripture says that the just will live by faith, and not sight. We too will have our names mentioned in the Hall of Faith, praise God for all the glory, and the honor belongs to Him.

I love this

I am trying to relate the verse in Herbrews 11:1 to another text in the bible that states, "by grace are ye saved, through faith, and not of yourselves". It is God that can only save us and it is his "gift". Where does faith come in? Can we say by grace are ye saved through the substance of things hoped for. If we are dead in trespasses and sins we can bring nothing forward of ourselves to save ourselves. The dry bones in that arose and became an army became alive because of one reason: GOD. Faith then must also be a gift that God must give as well as Grace. This would then make Faith the substance of things hoped for (as much as the Lord will give us. Paul says I am what I am by the grace of God.
