Abraham knew that the earthly promised land was not the end of his journey of faith. Rather, God’s promise pointed beyond everything on earth to the heavenly city that God has prepared for His faithful servants. Abraham serves as an example for all God’s people, reminding us that we are only traveling through this world on our way to God’s city and His home for us in heaven. We are not to look for unending security in this present life or be attached to this present world (Hebrews 11:14, 16: 13:14). We must consider ourselves as strangers and exiles on the earth. This is not our homeland; the end of our journey will be “a better country” (Hebrews 11:16), “the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22) and the “city that is to come” (Hebrews 13:14).

(KJV) Hebrews 11:6 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.

BELIEVE THAT HE EXISTS / HEBREWS 11:6

This verse describes the convictions – the deep convincing beliefs – that are a part of saving faith.

1. We must believe in the existence of a personal, infinite, holy God who cares for us.
2. We must believe that God will respond to us and reward us when we sincerely look to Him in faith, knowing that our greatest reward is the joy and presence of God Himself. He is our shield and our very great reward (Genesis 15:1; Deuteronomy 4:29; Matthew 7:7-8: John 14:2).
3. We must diligently pursue a deeper relationship with God and passionately desire His presence, power and purpose in our lives. (John 1:12; 5:24).

(KJV) Hebrews 11:4-7

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.

⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

⁶ 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.

⁷ 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.

ABEL … ENOCH … NOAH / HEBREWS 11:4-7

These three godly men are selected for special mention from the time of creation until the great flood that devastated the earth (Genesis 6 – 8). Their lives are examples of various aspects of a life of faith.

• By faith, Abel (son of Adam and Eve) was commended as a true worshiper who gave his absolute best and honored God in the way God prescribed (Hebrews 11:4). Because of his bold commitment, he became the first martyr (one killed for faith or for following God, (Hebrews 11:4).
• By faith, Enoch “walked with God” (Genesis 5:24) in great intimacy, so much that he was taken from this earth without dying (Hebrews 11:5).
• By faith, Noah believed what God said about the future disaster coming on the earth and was willing to risk his reputation on God’s warning coming to pass (Hebrews 11:7).

(KJV) Hebrews 1:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

BY BAITH WE UNDERSTAND / HEBREWS 1:3

“By Faith” occurs at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis and becomes an introductory phrase to over 17 more examples of faith throughout the chapter. The phrase gives greater emphasis with each example. We “understand,” or obtain knowledge, in two basic ways:​

​The natural mind cannot understand things given by God 

1. Through the five physical senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) combined with natural reasoning and 
2. Knowledge about God and the spiritual realm that happens first at the spirit level – through revelation by God – and is the accepted (understood) “by faith.”

The natural mind cannot understand things given by God (1 Corinthians 2:12-14), including creation. Only a spiritually renewed mind can comprehend such things. For this reason, the testimony of God’s Word is absolutely vital to faith in the sense that we must take God at His Word in order to understand “that the universe was formed at God’s command” (Genesis 1:3; Genesis 1:6-9; Genesis 1:14; Genesis1:20-26; Psalms 33:6, 9; Isaiah 55: 10-11; Colossians 1:16-17).
