Men of Old – Abel & Enoch (Heb. 11:4-6) Having examples is instructive (Heb. 6:11, 13:7)

Men of Old – Abel & Enoch (Heb. 11:4-6) Having examples is instructive (Heb. 6:11, 13:7) Abel: By Faith: offered more excellent sacrifice than Cain. – More excellent, better, more acceptable – Because it was an animal sacrifice – recognizing sin? (Gen. 3:15, 3:21, Lev. 17:11, Heb. 9:22) – Because it was “firstlings” or firstborn – firstfruits – belonging to God – along with the “fat” ? (Prov. 3:9, Lev. 3:16, Ex. 34:26 –NIV)

Men of Old – Abel & Enoch (Heb. 11:4-6) Having examples is instructive (Heb. 6:11, 13:7) Abel: By Faith: offered more excellent sacrifice than Cain. – More excellent, better, more acceptable – Because it was an animal sacrifice – recognizing sin? (Gen. 3:15, 3:21, Lev. 17:11, Heb. 9:22) – Because it was “firstlings” or firstborn – firstfruits – belonging to God – along with the “fat” ? (Prov. 3:9, Lev. 3:16, Ex. 34:26 –NIV) – God testified that Abel was righteous (Heb. 11:4) – God had respect unto him and his offering (Gen. 4:4)

Men of Old – Able & Enoch (Heb. 11:4-6) Enoch: By Faith: Walked with God (Gen. 5:21,24; Jude 14-15) – God bore witness before translating Enoch to heaven that he was “well-pleasing to God”

INSTRUCTIVE SYLLOGISM Without faith, it is impossible to please God. (Heb. 11:6) Enoch pleased God (Heb. 11:5) Therefore, Enoch walked with God by faith This is why the men of old had witness of God’s approval – they walked with God by faith (Heb. 11:2).

Why Faith Pleases God – Because… At the foundation of faith is belief that God exists – He is – absolutely, eternally, Self- existent (Ex. 3:14)

Why Faith Pleases God – Because… At the foundation of faith is belief that God exists – He is – absolutely, eternally, Self- existent (Ex. 3:14) At the foundation of faith is the belief that God is a rewarder of those who seek Him (Acts 17:24-25)

God does not tell us why this pleases Him, but in being God, it does! Our hearts and lives display how REAL God is, and how REWARDING He is!

FAITH IS ABOUT GOD Heb. 11:1 “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things unseen.” Heb. 11:6 “…must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that seek after Him.”

FAITH IS ABOUT GOD Heb. 11:1 “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things unseen.” Heb. 11:6 “…must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that seek after Him.” “Assurance of things hoped for” – Believe He is a rewarder of them that seek after Him” “A conviction of things unseen – Believe that He is.
