WHAT DOES FAITH LOOK LIKE TO YOU?



Now faith is the substance of things 
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a 
good report. 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 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.  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.
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.  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.
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.
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:
For he looked for a city which hath 
foundations, whose builder and maker 
is God. 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. Therefore sprang 
there even of one, and him as good as dead, 
so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, 
and as the sand which is by the sea shore 
innumerable.  These all died in faith, not 
having received the promises, but having seen 
them afar off, and were persuaded of them, 
and embraced them, and confessed that they 
were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
For they that say such things declare 
plainly that they seek a country.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that 
country from whence they came out, they 
might have had opportunity to have returned.
But now they desire a better country, 
that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not 
ashamed to be called their God: for he 
hath prepared for them a city.

Hebrews 11:1-16
