Discuss Hebrews 11 Page 16

Faith entails solid trust on things not seen.

I think Hebrews 11:6 says it all,as people of God we have to use the measure of faith that has already been given to us if we want to please him.

This verse of scripture actually portray a practical life of faith, it shows two value, the king and the invisible God, but Moses choose to follow the pat of the invisible God and did not allow the wrath of the king to stop him in pursuing this purpose.

I UNDERSTAND FAITH, IT IS EVIDENCE UNSEEN THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

It is
will be
ill show you
it will be manefested
his will will be done

Verse:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I heard heb 11.1 last night like never before. Like you Susan the Holy Spirit to me to define substance and it brought and u understanding i never had for the scripture. Glory to God

Because the enemy knows that the only way we can receive from God and please Him is thru faith,that's why he keeps attacking it,but dat devil is a liar!

indeed faith is a substance of things hope for but evidence of things not seen

faith is beleiving that something will happen, must be a gift from GOD that is given as grace.

Is it ok to seek a reward from God? Hebrews 11:6. Wow!

it is the only way that we can make n life if we believe
gods word

faith is what every person need inorder to succeed in life.God is always there to help us if we have faith.

Rahab, faith comes by hearing and hearing the words of God (the spies promises) Willing Obedience ( Isaiah 1:19) God does not care of your status in life...she chose what she felt correct to help support her family. In this case to save her family!

Faith is what we need to please God at all times,for with out it we cant please Him.For our fairh is all we have other than God's word.

That the man who believes in God, not just his word, but also in the person of God, needs no further facts to trust. Some will wait for God, but here we see a man who 'waited with God' till the promise would be fulfilled. Even after every probable cause had been utterly done away with, when all hope was removed, his faith sprung up and grasped that which was promised. Hebrews 6:13-18; Hebrews 11:13-16.

Blessed are they that live by faith.

I think anything is possible with God. Only He has the power to change one individual or person, and no one else is.

This hope of which Hebrews talks about is the promise made by the Father that if we do His will, we already have a place with Him. That is a sure thing. That is the substance. If we exercise faith, that substance is guaranteed. Whereas we can say I hope it doesn't rain, but nothing is guaranteed. Therefore it is not hope but a wishful thinking that may or may not come to pass. However, the promise made by God is a sure thing conditioned on our trust in Him.

Salvation depends on Faith in Christ alone. So, knowing I can trust Him to save my soul from hell and destruction. While I walk this dark world, my soul knows that I can have Faith in Jesus Christ, even when my sight tells me to doubt. Amen and Amen.

By faith, everything is possible. No matter how great the situation is, God is there to lift us up, only if we have faith in him.

@Brother,
On verse 18,
1. I agree with what Timothy had to say in response to Brother on his marriage situation, but there is more Timothy should be doing beside praying;
2. It is difficult giving relationship advice without being able to sit down and talk with both parties involved;
3. God always has solutions to every situation, but they are usually not so simple because of our sinful nature and after we have made decisions without proper biblical counseling with God and the man of God with the holy scriptures at the foundation of our decisions;
4. Are you and your wife both saved?
5. Do you both attend and participate in a good bible believing church?
6. Are you doing those things that God commands us to do that put us in a right relationship and good standing with him?
7. Although our mates have a large influence on our lives and how we are able to serve God, but our mates should not have that much influence on us that it holds us back from our spiritual growth and fellowship with God ( 1 Corinthians 7 and Ephesians 5:21-33);
8. We as Christians should never allow anyone to have such a strong hold on us to keep us from doing right and being diligent in seeking him. ( 1 Corinthians 7:29 and Hebrews 11:6);
9. The better our relationship, fellowship, and obedience to God's holy word the better position we place ourselves in having God answering our prayers and working in our favor;
10. We have a much better opportunity in winning others to our side (God’s side) when we love God verbally, but also when we especially love God with our actions;
11. People always tend to watch our actions over our speech ( James 1:22-25);
12. I do not know what kind of a relationship Peter had with his wife, but it apparently did not stop him from doing what God wanted him to do!

The only way we can please GOD is by faith. GOD has given us all a measure of faith.

"Hoped". Why not "hope". Things we "Hope" for are in a future sense. Example: I hope it does not rain, but it did rain. Or I hoped it would not rain and it did not. Past tense or future tense. Hoped versus Hope, "Hoped"; states it is already done. That is why "Faith is the substance of things Hoped for, The Evidence of things not seen". Our Salvation is complete in Christ Jesus. The evidence is in our Faith that God The Father has gifted us with. Faith is given by God, to us. We have not seen the completion of our Salvation, yet in Christ Jesus it is complete.

Whatever that is not of Faith is sin. Without Faith it is impossible to Please God!

@Brad Holland,
To study the differences between the King James Version 1611 (authorized version) and the other versions is something you should do with diligence ( Hebrews 11:6; 2 Timothy 2:15) and I believe you will conclude that the King James Version 1611 (authorized version) is the only inspired word of God as I have. As for the vulgate text it is from the Alexandria manuscripts (Egypt) Latin based that the catholic church uses for their version translated by origen and others that is proven to be corrupt by most honest and true bible translators. The King James Version 1611 (authorized version) is translated from the manuscripts of Antioch ( Acts 11:26) (Textus Receptus) where you will find that most honest and true translators conclude to be correct. As for the original text there are no original texts and when someone can produce them I might start altering my thinking on this subject. God is never to concern about the originals, see what god does with originals and how he preserves his word ( Exodus 32:19, Exodus 34:1; Psalms 12:6,7; Matthew 24:35; Peter 1:19) more original writings ( Jeremiah 30:1, Jeremiah 36:27, 28, 32). God has preserved his word in the King James Version 1611 (authorized version). When a person comes to conclusion that all versions are of God they have not studied the scriptures with diligence. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways ( James 1:8). There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end there of is the ways of death ( Proverbs 14:12; 2 Timothy 2:15).

Faith is also accepting what God says is, then is. What He says was, then was. What is going to be will be. What he says we are, then we are. What He says we have, then we have. What He says we can do, then we can.

Faith is about always believing in God, no matter how good or bad your situation is. I know that God exists.

WOW!!! THE HOLY SPIRIT spoke to me and told me to look up definition of substance and evidence that goes with Hebrews 11:1, I found this link and I am starting to understand it better.
