Walking by Faith

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
