11 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.” Hebrews 11:1-2

Faith is confidence, assurance, trust, reliant conviction... not in self.

Faith’s origin not from human reason, intellect, ability…but from unseen.

All humanity contains built in capacity for faith- in something.

The soul’s enemy parades countless temporary objects for false faith.

Things seen: money, possessions, fame, power, immorality…each fails at death.

 Unseen faith, forever life- given by God who loves all.

To obtain such everlasting faith confidence? God’s free gift. Ask.

Faith comes from the words of Jesus. Read the Bible.

Hope’s never found in temporary things. Hope is from God.

Faith: a free, eternal, unseen, tangible gift. Confidence from God.

17 “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17

8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,” Ephesians 2:8
