Because of Faith

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 (Hebrews 11:6).

Faith can be mighty and do amazing things. For most Christians, it grows throughout their lives. Think about these Bible verses from Hebrews 11 and how the faith of these people from the Old Testament impacted them and others. And they're still teaching us today.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he went.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not  afraid of the king's commandment.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with they that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

These are just a few of the faithful we could list. Great things, miraculous things, happened because of faith. How is your faith? If it needs to grow, turn to God.

Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and ye shall find'; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7-8).
