MEMORY VERSE: “Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.” 1 Timothy 3:9.
BIBLE PASSAGE: Hebrews 11:3-11.
[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.
[4]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.
[8]By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
[9]By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
[10]For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
[11]Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: The ultimate goal of the Christian life is to please God. Pleasing God is accomplished by faith (Heb.11:6). Faith is the foundation of the Christian life and the principle that brings us to Jesus Christ. An understanding of what faith is will help us grow in our walk with the Lord.
OUTLINES
1. A DESCRIPTION OF FAITH
2. STAGES OF FAITH
A DESCRIPTION OF FAITH
Faith is the currency of believers (Mk.9:23): when God created the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1, as well as everything we see (the stars, moon, and light), we understand
by faith (Heb.11:3). Faith works where we cannot see (Heb. 11:1), It the substance of things hoped for. Faith is predicting your future (Ps.27:13): it is shaping your future by speaking and confessing it (Mk.11:24). Faith is the act of declaring and decreeing (Mk.11:23; Job 22:28): it is the vehicle that moves God (Matt.8:9-1 0; 15:25-28). Faith is the pillar for salvation (Eph.2:8; Rom.10:9-10): pursuing a Christ-like life is a demon-
stration of faith (Heb.10:38-39).
STAGES OF FAITH
1.The faith that secures our salvation and makes us followers of Jesus. This is the fundamental theology and the core of what we believe as Christians (Rom.10:4; Jn.14:6; Eph.1:13). It is what makes us believers (Jn.1:12). It is what separates Christianity from other religions (1Jn. 4:1-3).
2.The faith that is an act, art and the science of believing. It is the practical aspect of our profession as Christians that makes us hold on to the word or promises of God against all odds (Rom.4:18-21).
3.The lifestyle of faith. This is when faith has become our lifestyle, we live it. At this stage, it is impossible not to believe in God. We do not stagger at what we see or experience (Dan.3:16-18; Acts 21:11-13).
CONCLUSION: Faith is both a gift and fruit of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor.12:9; Gal.5:22). It is the fuel that keeps us going as believers.
