NOW FAITH is BEING SURE of WHAT WE HOPE FOR and CERTAIN of WHAT WE DO NOT SEE (CHRIST IS REAL, GOD's WORD IS TRUE). THIS is WHAT the ANCIENTS WERE COMMENDED for. BY FAITH WE UNDERSTAND that the UNIVERSE was FORMED at GOD'S COMMAND, so that WHAT is SEEN WAS NOT MADE OUT of WHAT WAS VISIBLE.
BY FAITH ABEL OFFERD GOD a BETTER SACRIFICE (HE WORSHIP GOD) than CAIN DID. BY FAITH HE WAS COMMENDED as a RIGHTEOUS MAN, (RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD) WHEN GOD SPOKE WELL OF HIS OFFERINGS. And BY FAITH HE STILL SPEAKS, EVEN THOUGH HE is DEAD.
BY FAITH ENOCH WAS TAKEN FROM THIS LIFE, SO THAT HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE DEATH; HE COULD NOT BE FOUND, BECAUSE GOD HAD TAKEN HIM AWAY. For BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN, HE WAS COMMENDED AS ONE WHO PLEASED GOD.(HE WALKED WITH GOD)
And WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE GOD, BECAUSE ANYONE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD EXIST and THAT GOD REWARDS THOSE WHO EARNESTLY SEEK GOD.
BY FAITH NOAH, WHEN WARNED ABOUT THINGS NOT YET SEEN, IN HOLY FEAR- (WORK WITH GOD)- BUILT AN ARK TO SAVE HIS FAMILY. BY HIS FAITH HE CONDEMMNED the WORLD and BECAME HEIR of the RIGHTEOUSNESS- (RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD) - that COMES BY FAITH. AMEM!
