The only place the Bible defines Faith is Hebrews 11:1-40.
If You Feel Like A Hero of the Faith (Hebrews 11:4-35a)
- Enjoy it and don’t feel guilty. Don’t let guilt factor on you.
- Praise God and know that all blessings come from him.
- If you live in fear of the bad things that might happen, you will never live in joy of the good things that are happening (James 1:17).
- Remember Matthew 6:34 and don’t live in fear of it being taken away.
If You Feel Helpless in the Faith (Hebrews 11:35b-39a)
- They were anonymous, unlike the heroes.
- Don’t feel guilty – the Bible says all these people had faith.
- Know salvation and the Christian life is not works-based.
- Faith is not a tool to make things better.
- Your circumstances are not a litmus test of your faith.
Hebrews 11:39b-40 – The difference between us and the people of faith is the cross and what Jesus did for us 2000 years ago.
