FAITH- is everything

 “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. 

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

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 

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

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 

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

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭11‬, ‭17‬, ‭24‬, ‭27‬, ‭30‬, ‭35‬, ‭40‬ ‭KJV‬‬
