This might get them across that barrier that seems to be so formidable for them and that is why the eleventh chapter of Hebrews is written. The New Strongs Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words says, Pistis is used of belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) whether in God or in Christ, springing from faith in the same.
Yet in the very next verse he went on to say that we are God’s “workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (verse 10).Generally they are synonymous, and sometimes they are translated from the same Greek word. Nothing could be further from the truth. The check is not the money, but it is equal to it, and stands under, until we receive the money in our hand. Because you believe in the truth of God’s revelation.Why do you believe that? By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. You never have enough of anything cause if you see something else you want it, right? Faith is not some kind of power by which you create your future. I want you to turn in your Bible to Hebrews chapter 11. The safest place for a rebuke is in the arms of the Lord. It also gave them the evidence or trust that they would receive what they asked for. "Immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand." So that’s the nature of faith. “Yeah, well that,” you say, “doesn’t –does that mean that Scripture can’t be proven to be true?” No, the Scripture can be proven to be true, which just strengthens our assurance, doesn’t it?
"For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why does he yet hope for?"
Scripture says God created it, we live in it and we can see the evidences of His creation. They’re taking an impotent faith and trying to empower it. This is the way we live. The expression “just have faith, it will work out” is used by people to encourage and comfort someone facing serious problems or stressful situations. There’s a real sense in which you live against the grain of your own senses, your own senses because you can’t do what your natural senses tell you to do. Their faith or trust was the substance of what they hoped for, and it was the evidence of that which was not yet seen or received.Their faith or trust was built on serving God and obeying His commandments. We’ll learn about Isaac and Jacob and Joseph and everybody else, all who believed God and were approved by all who knew them. Well, it would have to be more than just some kind of hope because you would have to spend 120 years building the boat. It is not just the assurance of the substance, or you could even translate it the evidence, What would make you live against the grain of your fallenness? So the fact that we can look back and see that God described His creation, told us how He made it and has left His imprint on it and we are now living in that creation gives us the opportunity to have a foundation for believing in the future.What God said in Genesis brought about the universe and we now live in it and experience it and know its reality.
Faith is the result of our having a "word" from the Lord, which becomes the substance and evidence of our believing. Why not a universe?
Because God has given you the faith to believe in that revealed Word and everything you ever study in that Word and all the evidences that come around that Word indicate that it, in fact, is true. It is the power of God given to you to trust in the promises God has made in Scripture. So from the human perspective, if they somehow had the power to write their own future, they perhaps would have written it differently than God wrote it. Is that not true?So now that you believe these things and have put your trust in Christ and are now living a life based upon promises for the future that you haven’t seen that have so much weight that they control your life, what do you do? It’s not really a formal definition of – of faith rather than a – rather it is a description of faith, kind of the basic elements or features that describe faith.
What it presents to us is the power of faith, the power of faith, the excellency of faith.And I think that needs some clarification in the climate in which we exist today because there is a faith movement within the framework, large framework of evangelical Christianity.
The very presence of God?
There was such substance to what he had been told, he was so confident in the revelation of God to him that it became a conviction that he could literally live his life on.
Abraham had faith, although that for which he believed was humanly impossible. God was so pleased with him that one day he took a walk and walked right into the presence of God and skipped the dying part. Faith (confidence, belief, trust) is also our evidence of that which is not seen—the invisible spiritual things. Paul speaks of \"Repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord, Y'shua the Messiah\" Acts 20:21. In fact, from a human viewpoint, all they hear is a faith that are recorded in the eleventh chapter, and there are many of them as we will see when we go through the chapter. It’s a word that you can take to the bank. The apostle Paul made it abundantly clear, Ephesians 2:8 and 9, “For by grace are you saved through faith.” Romans chapter 3, chapter 4, and all the way through indicates that salvation comes by faith alone. You live your life as a Christian battling against the flesh that is your natural expression. So when we talk about salvation, we talk about the gospel, we’re always talking about faith and that raises the question, “What is faith?
