Live by Faith
How do we live so that God is NOT ashamed to be called our God? We must live by faith.
There are many tensions that Christians must embrace: loving the world and hating it; citizens of heaven, here as exiles on earth; not conformed to the world but as ambassadors of Christ. About this, G.K. Chesterton writes,
By Faith Noah - Hebrews 11
"By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this, he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith" (Hebrews 11:7, ESV).
All people live by faith in something, and faith is only as good as the object it's placed in. In Hebrews 11, we learn about men and women who placed their faith in the one and only true God. We read about how they demonstrated the kind of faith that honors God as He worked in their lives. The object of biblical faith is God, and the response of biblical faith is obedience to God and His Word.
