1. LIVING A GOD
PLEASING FAITH
HEBREWS 11:1-10
Bishop Genesis T. Udang

2. • Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance
that what we hope for will come about
and the certainty that what we cannot
see exists.
• Heb 11:2 By faith our ancestors won
approval.
• Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that
time was created by the word of God,
so that what is seen was made from
things that are invisible.

3. • Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a
better sacrifice than Cain did, and by
faith he was declared to be righteous,
since God himself accepted his
offerings. And by faith he continues to
speak, even though he is dead.
• Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken
away without experiencing death. He
could not be found, because God had
taken him away. For before he was
taken, he won approval as one who
pleased God.

4. • Heb 11:6 Now without faith it is
impossible to please God, for whoever
comes to him must believe that he
exists and that he rewards those who
diligently search for him.
• Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, when warned
about things not yet seen, reverently
prepared an ark to save his family, and
by faith he condemned the world and
inherited the righteousness that comes
by faith.

5. • Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to
go to a place he would later receive as his
inheritance, obeyed and went, even though
he did not know where he was going.
• Heb 11:9 By faith he made his home in the
promised land like a stranger, living in tents,
as did Isaac and Jacob, who also inherited
the same promise,
• Heb 11:10 because he was waiting for the
city with permanent foundations, whose
architect and builder is God.

6. •II Corinthians 5:7 puts
it this way: We live by
faith, not by sight.

7. • Mar 2:1 Several days later, Jesus
returned to Capernaum and it was
reported that he was at home.
• Mar 2:2 Such a large crowd gathered
that there wasn't room for them, even
in front of the door. Jesus was
speaking his message to them
• Mar 2:3 when some people came and
brought him a paralyzed man being
carried by four men.

8. • Mar 2:4 Since they couldn't bring him
to Jesus because of the crowd, they
made an opening in the roof over the
place where he was. They dug through
it and let down the mat on which the
paralyzed man was lying.
• Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he
told the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins
are forgiven."

9. • Luk_18:8 I tell you, he will
give them justice quickly.
But when the Son of Man
comes, will he find faith
on earth?"
