Hebrews 11:1-4

Chapter 10 is the Warning Chapter, and it is devoted to warning God's people to not go back to their old ways, nor add or take away anything from the New Testament, the New Laws after the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God will take the life of a mature Christian, the sin of death, who tries to change the ways.
Chapter 11 is the Faith Chapter, and it is full of encouragement, a register of the heroes of the Old Testament. This chapter shows us how to succeed and grow and gain the victory of our faith. The heroes are examples to us, how to battle and have victory at the end of our lives. There is no victory without a battle. Verses 1 & 3 give the definition of faith. Verse 4-32 give examples of faith. Verse 33-38 gives us the price of victory. Verse 39-40 is the reward through victorious faith.

Heb 11:1-3: Substance means foundation, so faith is the foundation, and evidence is proof of conviction.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Created means be made from nothing. This verse is a test of faith. If you don't believe God spoke into existence this universe, then you won't believe anything else in this Bible. This right here separates the faithful from the rest of mankind. Man wants to question God on all the minute details, but we are just supposed to believe, and listen; don't add or take away from His message. God will tell you what He needs to know, not all that you want to know. We can't explain all the details of faith. Faith means you trust God enough to believe His word without question. You believe the unreasonable, the unexplainable. You believe He created the heavens and earth out of nothing.............
