Scripture

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

Observation

Faith is confidence that God will fulfil our hopes and certainty about things we cannot yet see. It shows us that God created all things.

By faith Abel brought a better sacrifice than Cain, and by faith Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying. It is impossible to please God without faith.

Noah built his ark by faith. God warned him about things that had never happened before. Noah believed God and was saved in the flood that condemned the rest of the world.

Application

Hebrews 11 is often described as the faith chapter, because it starts with a definition of faith and then travels through the Old Testament to highlight the famous examples of men and women of faith.

We believe that God created everything with a few words of command. He created everything that can be seen out of nothing.

This is an awesome thought. in recent years, science has found more and more things that exist in our universe. All of this just demonstrates that God is infinitely greater than we can imagine.

Some scientists try to have us believe that everything just came from nothing in a “Big Bang.” Then, after things settled down a bit, life created itself with no help from a Creator.

We believe that there is a God who made it all, and that He loves His creation.

Prayer

Lord, the whole of creation sings of your glory. Praise be to God. Amen.
