Study 15 From The Book of
Hebrews Is: Hebrews 11:1-22
1.
Faith deals with things unseen
and things future, and, in particular, with the living God and His faithful
doing (verses 1, 6). It is sure of the present reality of the one, and of the
coming fulfilment of the other. Notice in detail how these characteristics of
faith were exhibited in the lives of the individuals here mentioned. What does this teach me I need to covet if my
life is to please God?
2.
Verses 7-16. To what should faith in God take heed, and
what does its full expression involve? Where is the crowning fulfilment of its
hopes to be enjoyed? How should such awareness affect my present outlook,
action, and attitude to life?
3.
Verses 17-19. What apparent
contradiction was involved (as Abraham at first saw it) between God’s promise
and God’s command concerning Isaac? How did Abraham’s faith in God triumph over
this test, and what new hope did Abraham have in God?
