ANCIENT FAITH

ANCIENT FAITH TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony” (Hebrews 11:1–2). DAILY FIRE! Faith is the lifeblood of a child of God. We get what we live for, but do we live by what we get? Conditions are fantastic compared with the past. Are we fantastically more content and fulfilled?  There have been fantastic people, relishing mortal existence like the finest wine, even when ignorance was profound: spiritual giants like Enoch, Abraham, and Samuel.  They did not surf the Internet, skimming across world knowledge: but plummeted the depths of reality. A deep understanding burned in their eyes. If we met one of these tremendous characters, we would feel inferior in the presence of greatness. Who are those in the “Honor Roll of Faith”? Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel; all the prophets. These were the ancients, people who knew God.  They did not use the word “ faith” as a state of mind. They thought only in practical terms; such as walking with God, serving, fearing, obeying, and cleaving to Him.  That is what faith is, and that is why the Bible must be our guide every inch of the way.
