“By faith Abel …” (Hebrews 11:4a)
The modern perspective of faith is typically that faith is asking God to do something you want Him to do and if it happens you must have had enough faith, and if it didn’t happen either 1) you didn’t have enough faith or 2) it wasn’t God’s will or 3) there’s sin in your life.Sound familiar? While there is some truth to that, faith is far more than that.
Hebrews chapter 11 is often referred to as the faith chapter. In that chapter we have many examples of various ways faith manifests. Starting next week, we will look at some of the ways true faith manifests. Let’s grow together in our understanding of what faith is, how it works, and let’s grow our faith!
