  3. What is Faith ? “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb. 11:1 Substance Ground, basis, support ASV = “assurance” Of things hoped for “All that I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all that I have not seen.” Evidence Proof ASV = “conviction” Of things not seen

  10. How do I come to Faith God Created the World • “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Gen. 1:1 • Not by reasoning • Not by dreaming about it • Not in answer to prayer • From God’s Word

  11. How do I come to Faith Abel came to conviction Not by his own reasoning By the revelation of God He heard God’s word and had conviction and confidence in what God revealed to him.

  12. How do I come to Faith Enoch had conviction An unseen God – expected a reward Romans 10:17 NKJV “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” MNT “So faith comes from a message heard, and the message comes from the teaching of Christ.”

  13. How do I come to Faith Noah built the ark He knew a flood was coming He expected to escape the flood God told him - Genesis 6:7 and 13-14 He had conviction and confidence because of God’s word

  14. How do I come to Faith Abraham went to a new place Gen. 12:1 “Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you.” His faith came by some revelation from God

  15. How do I come to Faith How did your faith originate ? From God’s word. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24 “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” John 6:45
