What Is Faith?

11\xa0Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it.\xa02\xa0Faith is the reason we remember great people who lived in the past.

3\xa0It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God\u2019s command so what we see was made by something that cannot be seen.

4\xa0It was by faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God said he was pleased with the gifts Abel offered and called Abel a good man because of his faith. Abel died, but through his faith he is still speaking.

5\xa0It was by faith that Enoch was taken to heaven so he would not die. 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.\xa06\xa0Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him.

7\xa0It was by faith that Noah heard God\u2019s warnings about things he could not yet see. He obeyed God and built a large boat to save his family. By his faith, Noah showed that the world was wrong, and he became one of those who are made right with God through faith.
