Faith and what the Bible says
about it.

Hebrews 10:38 "Now the just shall live by
faith: but if [any man] draw back, my
soul shall have no pleasure in him."



Turn to Hebrews Chapter 11

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had
received the promises offered up his only begotten [son],"

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come."

21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and
worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff."

22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children
of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones."

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's
commandment."

24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy
the pleasures of sin for a season;"

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in
Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured,
as seeing him who is invisible.

28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that
destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry [land]: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about
seven days.

31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she
had received the spies with peace.

32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and
[of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and
[of] the prophets:

33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,

34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness
were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the
aliens.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through
faith, received not
the promise:

40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not
be made perfect.
