1. Faith means being sure of the things we hope for. And faith means knowing that something is real even if we do not see it.
2. People who lived in the past became famous because of faith.
3. It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God’s command. This means that what we see was made by something that cannot be seen.
4. It was by faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God said he was pleased with the gifts Abel offered. So God called Abel a good man because of his faith. Abel died, but through his faith he is still speaking.
5. It was by faith that Enoch was taken to heaven. He never died. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. Before he was taken, the Scripture says that he was a man who truly pleased God.
