It Was By Faith

It was by faith! Those are four powerful words. Apart from those four words, Noah would have perished with everyone else when the flood waters came. Abram would have been a wealthy landowner who none of us would have ever heard of, living in an obscure village none of us would have ever known. Moses would have lived out his life as the spoiled adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter, surrounded by Israelite slaves. And a woman named Rahab would have lived out her days as a prostitute until her days were abruptly cut short.  As a matter of fact, without faith, she would have died in obscurity just like all the rest of the people who were living in Jericho when the walls “came crashing down.”
