Heb 11:1-3 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. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

“Anyone who puts their faith in God will NEVER be put to shame (Rom 10) so we are called to live by FAITH and not by sight (2 Cor 5). We live by faith by inclining our ear to the Lord because faith comes by HEARING and hearing from the word of the Lord (Rom 10). We live by faith by FIXING OUR EYES on Jesus the Author and Perfector of our faith so that we can run with perseverance the race marked out for us (Heb 12). When we live by faith the IMPOSSIBLE BECOMES POSSIBLE (Rom 4).”
