綱要:
(一)
列祖們因著信,看見並追求那______________
¤ 我們因著信,就知道諸世界是藉 神話造成的;這樣,所看見的,並不是從顯然之物造出來的。 (Éthe things which are seen
were not made of things which are visible)
¤ 因我們行事為人是憑著信心,不是憑著眼見。(林後
5:7)
¤ 16 所以,我們不喪膽。外體雖然毀壞,內心卻一天新似一天。 17 我們這至暫至輕的苦楚,要為我們成就極重無比、永遠的榮耀。 18 原來我們不是顧念所見的,乃是顧念所不見的;因為所見的是暫時的,所不見的是永遠的。(林後4:16-18)

¤ 參見背誦經文(來11:13-16)
¤ 33 他們因著信(É各種得勝的見証
v33-38É)本是世界不配有的人。39 這些人都是因信得了美好的證據,卻仍未得著所應許的; 40 因為神給我們預備了更美的事,叫他們若不與我們同得,就不能完全。
v 他們在信心裡所持定的兩大應許:
(1) ______________ (彌賽亞第一次的降臨)
(2) _____________________ (彌賽亞第二次的降臨)
-藉著________________與________________的降臨來表達 (啟 21:1-2)-

祂因那擺在前面的喜樂,就輕看羞辱,忍受了十字架的苦難,便坐在 神寶座的右邊。 那忍受罪人這樣頂撞的,你們要思想,免得疲倦灰心。(來12:1-3)

For
we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)
¤
16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet
the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which
is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things
which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are
eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
