Feb 23, 2023 · In saying, “The worlds were framed by the word of God,” the writer of Hebrews conveys the essence of true biblical faith: trust in God and obedience to His Word no matter the circumstances or consequences. If God said it, we believe it, even if our eyes can’t see it ( Hebrews 11:1 ).
For by faith we understand that the worlds were fashioned by the word of God, and these things that are seen came into being out of those things which are unseen. Contemporary English Version. Because of our faith, we know that the world was made at God's command.
Sep 14, 2022 · The only way to overcome the world is through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. At salvation, Christians are “hidden with Christ in God” through the work of the Holy Spirit, who baptizes all believers into one body—the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12–13).

Clearly Jehoshaphat was a godly man (note 2 Chron. 17:3-4, 6). He sought the Lord and walked in His commandments. He took great pride in the ways of the Lord and removed idols from the land. He sent out teachers to instruct the people in God’s law (17:7-9). When a prophet rebuked him for his wrongful alliance with Ahab, unlike his father (16:10), J...
The first thing we read of Jehoshaphat (17:1-2) is how he strengthened his position over Israel (Ahab’s northern kingdom). Later we read of his valiant army and fortified cities (17:12-19). He was ready for any onslaught. If Ahab had declared war, Jehoshaphat would have creamed him! But instead Ahab finagled to get his daughter married to Jehoshaph...
Notice how Jehoshaphat got sucked in deeper and deeper. First he gave his son in marriage, probably for a good cause (to reunite the two kingdoms). Next he accepted Ahab’s hospitality and foolishly gave his word about going into battle. But at that point his conscience was nagging him, and so he asked for a prophet so that they could inquire of the...
It may take time, but sin always has its consequences. Sometimes the consequences affect future generations more than our own. But if you sow compromise with the world, you won’t reap God’s blessings. Jehoshaphat himself, apart from God’s grace, would have lost his life in battle. He later did lose financially in his ungodly business alliance with ...
One of the most significant books I read last year was David Wells’ No Place for Truth(Or “Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology?”) [Eerdmans]. He argues convincingly that the evangelical church in America has lost its theological foundation, its God-centeredness. Instead of being “truth brokers” who help their flocks come to know and live in s...

Through faith we understand that the worlds — Although the expression, τους αιωνας, generally signifies the ages, yet here the subsequent clause determines its signification to the material fabric of the world, comprehending the sun, moon, and stars, &c., (called by Moses the heaven and the earth, Genesis 1:1 ,) by whose duration and revolutions...

Faith is the means whereby spiritual truths can be a reality to genuine believers. When we first came to Christ in faith, we believed He would give us the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, come again to receive us, grant us redeemed bodies and give us eternal fellowship with Him in heaven.
