Faith was:
- The teacher who taught Abel to offer acceptable and pleasing sacrifice to God
- The anchor upon which Noah held on to construct the Ark for 120years with a dose of taunting by his contemporaries
- The means of Abraham's and our justification
- The magnet that drew Moses away from the fleeting pleasures of Egypt, so that he joined with the afflicted people of God
- The force that smashed the walls of Jericho, saving Rahab and her kin
- The secret that enabled Ruth to make her moving confession of faith
- The weapon that killed Goliath and destroyed Sennacherib's army
- The veto factor that prevailed in Mt. Carmel's contest
- The shield that protected Job in the storm of trials
- The extinguisher that stopped the flames of fire for Shedrack, Meshack and Abed Nego
- The muzzle that stopped the mouths of lion for Daniel
- The medicine that cured the Namaan of Syria
- The vision that was upon Mordecai and Esther, his niece
- The soul's window through which God's love comes pouring in like a flood
- The open hand whereby a sinner reaches out to God grace in salvation from sin
- The sure link in Christ, between the most terrible sinner and the infinitely holy God
- The trunk of salvation's tree, whose root is grace, and whose fruit is good works
- Clasping and leaning on the everlasting arms of Christ
- Committing one's ways to the Lord, knowing that He will whatever is best
- Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ enough to give Him all your sins
- Receiving the kingdom (or rule) of God as a little kid
- Being sure of what we hope for, and being convinced of what we do not see.
