Faith
Faith is a divine blessing only made possible by God. The very first person mentioned, Abel, was only able to have faith because God revealed Himself.
Faith is trust, and in a sense faith is divine knowledge. It is divine knowledge of the Character of God. What I mean by divine is it is outsourced by God. From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, God placed Adam and Eve in such a position where they were asked to have faith in Him. God’s command, don’t eat from the tree, put Adam and Eve in a position where they needed to have faith in God.
An important distinction must be made, simply obeying a commandment of God’s does not mean you have Biblical faith. All the accomplishments of faith recorded in Hebrews 11 were motivated by a trust and acknowledgement of God’s holy character.
