Receiving By faith Hebrews 11:1-6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [2] For by it the elders obtained a good report. [3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. [4] By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. [5] By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. [6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.    Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 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. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. Now in verse six it says:But without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must [1] BELIEVE that he EXISTS and that [2] he REWARDS those who [3] EARNESTLY SEEK HIM.  three keys to receiving anything from God: 1. We must genuinely, sincerely believe in God. 2. We must believe that God responds to His people and rewards them. 3. To receive God’s rewards, we must diligently seek Him.   Anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He rewards His people. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him.   “Expect the Great”
