2. Hebrews 11:6
[6] And without faith it is
impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe
that He is and that He is a
rewarder of those who seek Him.
3. Romans 10:17
[17] So faith comes from
hearing, and hearing by
the word of Christ.
4. Romans 4:16-21
[16] For this reason it is by faith, in
order that it may be in accordance
with grace, so that the promise will
be guaranteed to all the
descendants, not only to those who
are of the Law, but also to those who
are of the faith of Abraham,
who is the father of us all,
5. Romans 4:16-21
[17] (as it is written, “A FATHER OF
MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE
YOU”) in the presence of Him whom
he believed, even God, who gives
life to the dead and calls into being
that which does not exist.
6. Romans 4:16-21
[18] In hope against hope he
believed, so that he might become a
father of many nations according to
that which had been spoken, “SO
SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE.”
7. Romans 4:16-21
[19] Without becoming weak in faith
he contemplated his own body, now
as good as dead since he was about
a hundred years old, and the
deadness of Sarah's womb;
8. Romans 4:16-21
[20] yet, with respect to the promise
of God, he did not waver in unbelief
but grew strong in faith, giving glory
to God, [21] and being fully assured
that what God had promised,
He was able also to perform.
9. 1) Part of Faith is our Belief
With our head we must say,
“I accept that.”

10. Genesis 12:4-6
[4] Then behold, the word of the
LORD came to him, saying, “This
man will not be your heir; but one
who will come forth from your own
body, he shall be your heir.”
11. Genesis 12:4-6
[5] And He took him outside and
said, “Now look toward the heavens,
and count the stars, if you are able
to count them.” And He said to him,
“So shall your descendants be.”
[6] Then he believed in the LORD;
and He reckoned it to him as
righteousness.
12. 2) Part of Faith is our Trust
With our heart we must say,
“I will lean on that.”

13. Hebrews 11:8
[8] By faith Abraham, when he was
called, obeyed by going out to a
place which he was to receive for an
inheritance; and he went out, not
knowing where he was going.
14. Hebrews 11:17-19
[17] By faith Abraham, when he was
tested, offered up Isaac, and he who
had received the promises was
offering up his only begotten
son;[18] it was he to whom it was
said, “IN ISAAC YOUR
15. Hebrews 11:17-19
DESCENDANTS SHALL BE
CALLED.” [19] He considered that
God is able to raise people even
from the dead, from which he also
received him back as a type.
16. 3) Part of Faith is our
Obedience
With our will we must say,
“I will do that.”

17. James 2:21-23
[21] Was not Abraham our father
justified by works when he offered
up Isaac his son on the altar?
[22] You see that faith was working
with his works, and as a result of the
works, faith was perfected;
18. James 2:21-23
[23] and the Scripture was fulfilled
which says, “AND ABRAHAM
BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS
RECKONED TO HIM AS
RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was
called the friend of God.
19. Romans 1:5
[5] through whom we have received
grace and apostleship to bring about
the obedience of faith among all the
Gentiles for His name's sake,
20. John 3:36
[36] “He who believes in the Son has
eternal life; but he who does not
obey the Son will not see life, but the
wrath of God abides on him.”
21. John 12:42-43
[42] Nevertheless many even of the
rulers believed in Him, but because
of the Pharisees they were not
confessing Him, for fear that they
would be put out of the synagogue;
[43] for they loved the approval of
men rather than the approval of God.
22. James 2:26
[26] For just as the body without
the spirit is dead, so also faith
without works is dead.
24. Matthew 8:10
[10] Now when Jesus heard this,
He marveled and said to those
who were following, “Truly I say
to you, I have not found such
great faith with anyone in Israel.
