Hebrews Chapter 11 enjoyment - FAITH

Definition of faith:

1 Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Witness of faith:

6 But without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to Him, for he who comes forward to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw that the child was lovely, and they did not fear the king's decree.

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

25 Choosing rather to be ill treated with the people of God than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin,

26 Considering the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked away to the reward.

27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he persevered as one seeing the unseen One.

28 By faith he instituted the Passover and the pouring out of the blood so that the bone destroying the firstborn would not touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, in which the Egyptians, while making the attempt, were swallowed up.

32 And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

33 Who through faith overcame kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34 Quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong in weakness, became mighty in war, routed the armies of foreigners.

39 And these all, having obtained a good testimony through their faith, did not obtain the promise,

40 Because God has provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.
