Review
1. What it Means to Have Faith
Heb 11:1 "Now faith is ...is Present tense!
"the substance of things hoped for..."A word from God
"...the evidence of things not seen." Evidenced by my actions!

What it means to have faith is that my current beliefs must be firmly rooted in God and built upon what He says about the situation to trust Him enough to act accordingly!
2. The Cost of Real Faith
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks

Heb 11:17-19
17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,

Faith germinates with a word from God!
Faith operates with explicit obedience!
