Scripture:
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 11:32, 33 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised….
Hebrews 11:4
By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
Genesis 4:1-5
Adam lay
with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With
the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the
soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering
to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his
flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his
offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was
downcast.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
