What genuine faith looks like in action

• Faith is confident trust in God’s promises, even when they are not yet seen or fulfilled (vv. 1–3).
• Good principles to follow in life, 4 Ws (Worship, Walking, Working, Waiting):
  • The heroes of faith acted on God’s Word, offering worship (Abel) as God prescribed, walking with God (Enoch) pleased God, and working/obeying Him despite worldly logic (vv. 4–7) (Noah).
  • Abraham and Sarah demonstrated patient (waited), obedient faith, trusting God’s promises for land, descendants, and a future they never fully saw (vv. 8–12).
• True faith embraces God’s promises from afar, living as pilgrims on earth while longing for a heavenly home (v. 13).
• God is pleased with enduring, forward-looking faith, and He prepares a heavenly city for those who seek Him.

F.A.I.T.H.

• F – Focus on the Unseen Promises: Train your heart to look beyond what is visible. Like Abraham and Sarah, trust that God's promises are true even when fulfillment is delayed. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
• A – Act in Obedience: Faith is not passive—it acts. Noah built an ark, Abraham left his homeland. Obedient action is the fruit of living faith. “Faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26)
• I – Identify as a Pilgrim, Not a Settler: Live with a mindset that this world is not your final home. Like the patriarchs, confess you're a pilgrim seeking a better, heavenly country. “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:2)
• T – Trust God’s Character Over Circumstances: Sarah “judged Him faithful who had promised.” Faith is grounded not in outcomes but in the faithfulness of God Himself. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23)
• H – Hold Fast to Hope Until the End: The patriarchs died in faith, still looking forward. Endurance is a mark of authentic faith. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 24:13)
