Hebrews 11-13

What is faith? What happens by faith? What are some examples of biblical faith? What did the people of faith see and greet from a distance?

Faith is being sure of what we hope for but cannot see. If we can see it and if we have it, then it is not faith. By faith we understand that God formed the universe. Examples of Biblical faith include but is not limted to, Abel who offered a better sacrifice than Cain. Enoch by faith did not see death. By faith Noah built an Ark even though it had never rained.

The people saw by faith at a distance that which they were promised.

For whose good might God discipline us? For what reason? What fruit does discipline yield?

God’s discipline is for out own good so that we amy share in God’s holiness. The harvest of discipline is righteousness and peace.

What can happen by showing hospitality to strangers? Who is the same through all time?

Some showing hospitality to strangers have entertained angels.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
