Text: 2 Corinthians 5:7
Some examples from Hebrews 11
Abel (v. 4) – offered a better sacrifice than Cain, not just attitude (1 John 3:12)
Walking by faith, we will worship God according to what He has revealed
Enoch (v. 5) – walked with God; in agreement with (believe) what God has said (Amos 3:3)
Walking by faith, we will believe and follow whatever God has said in His word
Noah (v. 7) – followed instructions in building the ark (Genesis 6:14-7:5)
Walking by faith, we will do things according to the pattern God has given us
Abraham (v. 8-10) – went when called; followed God for promised reward (Genesis 12:1-4)
Walking by faith, we will leave the old life behind and follow after God’s reward
Us (v. 13-16) – pursue the goal of heaven
Walking by faith, God will not be ashamed to be called our God
