ASHAMED?
Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the
evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews
11:1
Hebrews
11 is the great “Faith” chapter…
Beginning
with the definition of faith and working its way
through
the lives of God’s people, this chapter shows us
how
their faith was exhibited.
We
see Able giving a more excellent sacrifice than Cain;
Enoch
pleasing God and being translated that he should not see death;
Noah
acted on faith to something unseen and Abraham acting out
his
faith by obedience. These are just a few.
Then
verse six tells us:
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.
And
in verse sixteen we see this phrase:
….wherefore,
God is not ashamed to be called their God….
What
does that phrase say to you?
Has
it ever occurred to you that God could or even would
be
ashamed to be called “your” God?
Does
your life exhibit the kind of lifestyle that He would approve of?
"Is"
God ashamed to be called “your” God?
