We’re still teaching on the *subject of faith*, so let’s get right into the Word.
*I.
*Let’s *turn to* our main text, */Hebrews 10:38-11:1/*
*A.
Last week* we *looked at* the *word* “*/SUBSTANCE/*” in (*HEB 11:1*) “Now *faith is the* *substance* of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
KJV
*1.
If faith* is *the* *substance* of something, *then* it *is a substance*.
What I’m trying to get at is that *Faith is a **Substance*.
*B.
Very quickly*, Before I go on to new ground, I want to *give you* the *definition* of the word *SUBSTANCE* *according to the Greek.*
*1.
**/1st/* it *means* a “*Substructure*, or a *Foundation*.”
*a.
Faith* is *really the foundation of Christianity*.
Of course, *Jesus* being the *chief corner stone*.
*i.
*But we *have to put* our *faith* *in* the Lord *Jesus* Christ *for* *salvation* *and* *all* of the *promises of God*.
*ii.
Faith is a foundation*.
*2.
**/2nd/* “*Substance*” means “*Firm*,”
*a.
*There is *something FIRM about Faith*, *it doesn’t waver*.
*i.
Faith is FIRM*.
*b.
**/3rd/* *it’s that which has* “*Actual existence, a Substance*.”
*i.
Faith is a real substance*.
It’s *not* a *natural* *substance*, it’s *Spiritual substance*, it’s a *spiritual POWER*.
*3.
*The word “*Substance*” *also* *means* “*The Steadfastness of Mind*.”
*a.
Meaning*, “*Your mind is not going to be moved by anything*.”
*i.
Not by circumstances*, not by *situations*, not by *people* *or* their *words*.
*ii.
*This *steadfastness of mind* *means* that the *only thing* that is going to *change your believing* *is the WORD* OF GOD.
*iii.
Faith is steadfast*.
*b.
*The word “*Substance*” */also/** means*, “*Firmness, and Courage*.”
*i.
*You know *there is a Strength and courage about Faith*.
*ii.
When Faith is truly based on the Word* of God, *then it is bold*.
*It’s not going to back down*.
*iii.
Faith needs to be bold against the enemy*, *if it’s not bold in doing what the Word says* to do *then it’s wavering*.
*iv.
It takes courage* to *step out on the Word* of God.
*Faith is Strong* *and it is courageous*
*c.
The definition* to the word “*Substance*” also *adds* that it’s a “*Confidence*, *Firm Trust*, *Assurance*.”
*i.
Faith is a* “*Confidence*, a* Firm Trust* *and* *an Assurance* *that the promises of God belong to you*.”
*II.
*Just a moment ago* *I *briefly **made reference to* “*Being a doer of the Word*.”
*A.
*(*James 2:17, 20, 26*) says, “*Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also*.”
KJV
*1.
*In the believers life, *Faith without action is dead faith*.
*Faith without action* is *not* going to *produce anything*.
*2.
**/LUKE 8:21/*
*3.
*You *remember* the *woman with the **issue of blood* in (*MARK 5*) She *put action with her faith*.
(Heard about Jesus {faith came} she ran to Him.)
*a.
Jesus replied to her*, “Daughter thy *faith hath made thee whole*.”
*4.
**/ACTS 19:6/*
*a.
*They had *faith to receive the H.S. with tongues*.
*b.
*Now in this case they had a *corresponding* *action* to their faith.
But *what was* the *corresponding action*?
*c.
*“*They spake*”
*i.
*The *corresponding action can be as simple as confession the Word*.
It doesn’t always have to be a *corresponding action* *but* *if you believe God* *then you’re going* *to have actions* *to your faith*.
*ii.
Weather a person has faith* *or not* *is easy to see* *if you’re around them enough*.
*iii.
*But *if you have faith in the Word*, *then you’re going to act like it’s so*.
*iv.
*If you *refuse to act on it*, *your doubting the Word*.
*B.
*Turn with to */MARK 11:22-23/*
*1.
*Notice that He Says, “*Shall not doubt in his heart, **but shall believe*.”
*a.
1st* Jesus says in (*V 22*) “*Have faith in God*.”
*i.
*The *Worrell Translation* says, “*Have the faith of God*.”
*ii.
We are to have the God kind of Faith*.
*An unwavering faith*.
*2.
*All right, *let’s go back* *and read* */V 23/*, but this time we’ll put it together *with* */V 2/**/4.
/*
*a.
Notice* that *in* (*V24*) *Jesus said*.
“*What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them*.”
*i.
When* *are we to believe that we receive them?*
