Faith is what it takes to make the journey
Faith is closely linked to hope.
real bible faith is a confident obedience to God’s word in spite of circumstances and consequences.
Real faith hears God and acts on what God says no matter the circumstance or the consequence… we obey just the ame and believe Him to do what is right and what is best.
Three words in this passage are important to our understanding of faith....
Assurance, conviction, and commendation
Assurance- the substance of who we are as Christians.
Faith is looking at God and trusting him for everything, while hope is looking at the future and trusting God for it.
Conviction. it is the evidence that what God ahs promised he will perform.
The presence of God given faith in one’s heart is conviction enough that God will keep his word.
The commendation… the witness.
It is the divine approval on our lives and ministries… the divine favor on the likes of Abraham, Sarah, Enoch, Abel and others cited int thie list that follows.
Faith is the substructure, the framework, on which the Christian life resides.
It is the basis of the Christian’s being, the seed out of which everything else flows.
A Faith that Worships-Abel
The back story is found in Genesis 4:1-10
God had revealed to Adam and his descendants the true way of worhsip, and Abel obeyed God by faith.
Cain on the other hand, was religious but not righteous.
God accepted Abel, and will reward his faith through and out the other side of death.
Though he is dead, the account of his faith is still a powerful withness to us so many years later.

A Faith that Walks- Enoch
Our faith in God grows as we fellowship with God.
We must have both the desire to please Him and the diligence to seek Him.
Prayer, meditating on the Word, worship, discipline—all of these help us in our walk with God.
Enoch walked with God in the wicked world, before the Flood came; he was able to keep his life pure.
Enoch was taken to heaven one day (“translated” =“carried across”) and seen no more.
Abel died a violent death, but Enoch never died.
God has a different plan for each one who trusts Him.
A Faith that Works- Noah
Noah’s faith involved his mind, his heart, and his will.
His mind beleived what God warned
His heart was moved with fear at what God said.
And his will performed what God required.
His faith must have gained interest… No one had seen a flood up to this point… perhaps not even a rain storm.... and there is Noah building a houseboat.
Noah’s faith saved his family.
His faith revealed the consequences of unbelief.
A Faith that Waits
The call of Abraham… God promised Abraham and Sarah a son, but they had to wait twenty-five years for the fulfillment of the promise.
they waited 25 years for Isaac
Sarah was promised a son and Isaac arrived
Abraham was promised a homeland even though he was a wandering nomad with no fixed home.
Aside from a grave that he purchased, Abraham never got the promised land.
He died waiting for something he hadn’t seen
Isaac has Jacob and Esau
Jacob provides the 12 sons...
Joseph saves the nation in the land of Egypt...
moses saves the nation from the land of Egypt...
and Abraham still never saw the promised land.
