True faith is not a personal feeling within an individual but is based on our Creator’s revealed knowledge. Turning to the book of Hebrews, Alistair Begg focuses on how our faith takes its character and quality from its object: God Himself. By faith we know that God formed the universe out of nothing and continues to reign over His creation. Our biblical knowledge about God leads us to worship Him with pure-hearted service, putting this faith into action despite the ridicule we may face.
1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
4By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
