• Hebrews 11:3 - The world was created by God speaking it into existence.
  • Hebrews 11:4 - Abel offered a sacrifice from his flock while Cain offered a sacrifice from the field. The only reason Abel’s sacrifice was aceptable was because he offered it in faith. Cain offered his sacrifice at his own discretion - not through faith. God must have given Cain and Abel some instruction with regard to acceptable sacrifice in order for Abel to offer a sacrifice through faith. This also shows that there is such a thing as unacceptable worship.
  • Hebrews 11:5 - What an amazing compliment - to be pleasing to God. The only other person we have record of that was taken up by God is Elijah.
  • Hebrews 11:6 - We must believe that God is the first cause of all things.
  • Hebrews 11:7 - When Noah built the ark and people refused to go in it, the people were condemned. It is the same as when we teach God’s word and they reject it.
