Heroes OF Faith. Heb. xi:1-40.
Golden Text-Faith is the substance
of things hopGj for, the evidence or
things not stJs. Heb. Kill.
Verses i-3-In what respects ara
faith and hope similar?
io
faith, does that give as much, or sim
liar satisfaction, as the possession or
the thing itself7
What is the ground Of our faith,
that "the worlds were framed by the
word Of Cod?
Why do we admire the men OF faith
of past years?
Verses 4-5-Abel had truly relig-
ious nature; now was this nature the
result of bis faith. or was his faltn
the result of his nature?
Does this record mean that Enoch's
translation was directly caused by
specific act of faith, or that his gen.
eral life Of faith made him such a
good man that God translated him
without death?
Verse 6-Faith is sometimes based
upon outward evidence; sometimes
upon personal revelation; sometimes
upon intuition, and sometimes upon
composite grounds; what moral or
spiritual qualities, therefore, are nee
cssary for becoming a man Of faith?
(This question must be answered in
writing by members Of the ciub.)
Why is faith necessary In order to
please God?
Verse What was Noah's faith
based upon, and wherein was his faith
meritorious?
Verses S-12-What was the differ
ence, II any, between Abraham's faith
and that of the Pilgrim fathers, when
they left the old country for the Amer
can land Of promise?
I take It that Abraham, and the Pill
grim fathers. while In communion with
God. felt a drawing to go to the rich
country in the distance about which
they had heard: that they took this
drawing to be the voice of God; and
In this faith they started out; what
evidence is there that their faith was
true, and that such faith Is always
dependable?
Verses 13-16-Why Is 1t that all ma
tions and peoples, in all time, so far as
we have any record, believe In, and
desire a better country, that is an
heavenly?
Verses 17-19-Give from memory the
account of Abraham Offering up his
son Isaac
What is the particular virtue, in
Abraham obeying God in the matter
Of offering up Isaac?
Would it be virtue or vice In
these days, If any man should do the
same thing as Abraham did?
Verses 20-91-Suppose the persons
mentioned in these wonderful verses,
Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Ra-
hab, had been lacking faith in God,
In these critical moments Of their
lives, what would have been the diff
ference in the results?
Does faith in God always make the
present happy, and picture in glowing
colors the future?
Verses 32-40-Have men distinguish
ed for their faith always been noted
for their goodness?
This is thrilling account of the
exploits of the men of faith; give me
an account of the achievements of men
noted for their lack of faith.
