Faith

Hebrews 11
 Faith

“NOW FAITH IS THE ASSURANCE OF THINGS

HOPED FOR, THE CONVICTION OF THINGS NOT
SEEN. FOR BY IT THE PEOPLE OF OLD
RECEIVED THEIR COMMENDATION. BY FAITH
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS
CREATED BY THE WORD OF GOD, SO THAT
WHAT IS SEEN WAS NOT MADE OUT OF
THINGS THAT ARE VISIBLE.”
