th present glorious dispensation of the grace of god but in all these past ages we see that faith was the controlling power that enabled men to walk with god and triumph over the corrupting influences of their times it is important to remember that god has never had two ways of saving men while the revelation of his grace has come gradually and various rites and ceremonies have been linked with it at different times these latter have had nothing to do with regen erating or justifying the individual it has always been true that faith in gods word whatever that word may have been has alone justified man before him and through that word men have been saved in all ages thus entering into his spirit ual kingdom and recognizing his authority in a world at variance with his divine rule faith always gives god his rightful place and thereby condemns the world where god has spoken faith accepts his testimony and rests upon it implicit being assured that he cannot lie chap 6 18 verse by verse heb 11 1 the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen or it is the sub stantiating of things hoped for the vas righteous god testifying of his of the nevv dispensation sion but of faith as such would not come in until our day the heart of the lesson left them to wait until after the faith is that which enables men death of christ to come into full- to rest in confidence upon

conviction of things not seen as another has translated it that is faith in what god has declared gives the soul absolute assurance and firm conviction of the reality of things which the natural eye has never seen yet these things are as real to the man of faith as any thing that he can see feel taste smell or handle in fact they be come even more real for his senses might deceive him but the word of god he knows to be absolutely infal lible verse 2 by it the elders ob tained a good report it was this positive realization that every word of god is true which quickened into newness of life delivers in ancient times and enabled them to bear testimony to things that the natural man could never apprehend by such evidence as appeals to his mind verse 3 through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of god men have speculated all through the centuries as to the origin of the universe and have questioned whether matter is eternal or whether it was directly created by god but apart from revelation no man can speak with certainty in regard to these things faith alone gives apprehension of the truth that the things which we now see were brought into existence at his command out of nothing it is well known that the word translated worlds really means ages but the last part of the sentence shows that the material creation is in view it is the material creation as passing through a series of ages eacli one unfolding more and more of the divine wisdom power and love but all centering in christ himself verse by faith abe offered unto god a more excellent sacrifice than cain in abel we have the basic truth that approach to god is on the ground of sacrifice that is the offering up of a living creature whose blood was designed of god to illustrate the sacrifice and death d with god by faith and faith that triumphed over death as in the case of elijah afterward men sought in vain for his body he was not found because god had translated him before his rapture he hadj the testimony that he pleased god verse 6 without faith it is impossible to please him the natural man could not in any dis pensation live to the glory of god therefore the need of a second birth for he that would draw night to god must have faith in him truly believing that he exists and that he will reward those who seek him out this is in full accord with the great declaration of romans 2 0s no man in any dispensation hon estly sought a etfgrod and failed to find him for he always revealed himself to faith verse 7 by faith noah prepared an ark in noah we have faith triumphing over judgment here again we are called to con template a man who in a dark and difficult day heard the voice of god in his inmost soul and was oracu larly warned of him concerning something which in the very nature of things he could not see but he believed god and moved with fear prepared an ark for the saving of his house by act ing thus upon the word of the lord he condemned the world and be came heir of the righteousness which is according to faith verse s by faith abraham went out not knowing whither he went there is no mention here of his failures the stop in haran nor yet the fact that he did not immediately separate himself from his kindred but that actually his father seems to have taken the initiative in this first step but the faith already listed in chapter 11 is no merit in faith the merit is and with wham are included all in the work of our blessed lord who in every age have walked in faith is the hand that appropriates the path of dependence on god the blessing offered so freely their testimony should be a mes- hebrews 11 bears witness to the sage of encouragement to those who power of faith to enable one to are still in the place of testing
