Blessings of the faith system -- Hebrews 11:39-40: These worthy and godly people obtained a good report with God, but they did not live long enough to receive the promise of the coming Messiah. "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law." (Galatians 4:4) Now, we can be perfected together by the power of His blood.

We have been given "better things," things that those Old Testament worthies could only imagine. The "better things," are the privilege of seeing those promises fulfilled in the Messiah. We can enjoy the blessings resulting from His atonement and have the hope of heaven itself. The teachings of this chapter should encourage us to bear every trial, and to be ready to lay down our lives for the cause of God.

Many needs exist in our world. No greater need could ever exist than for people to walk "BY FAITH." Are you a Christian? (Acts 2:36-41.) What about your daily walk? Is it "by faith?"
