(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
- Through the five physical senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) combined with natural reasoning and
- 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).
