We always hear that salvation is by faith, but is that the whole story? Are humans the only ones to require faith? What do you think?

After the Fall, Jehovah gave humanity a second chance, but there was a murder in the first family. So what do you do?

God gave the next generation a chance, and the next generation, until there were 10 generations, and the whole world was corrupt. What do you see?

Yahweh could have wiped out the whole planet since He knew only eight out of the entire generation would be obedient. When do you stop?

History began over again – yet the man who found grace with the Almighty got intoxicated soon after the flood. What is the use?

Abram, the man God called, kept lying to the Pharaohs and tried to “help” God by sleeping with another woman. What is the problem?

Moses, the man God saved as a child and who saw the Most High face-to-face, couldn’t follow instructions. See a pattern?

Joshua, who led Israel into Canaan, kept forgetting to check with God, so he was defeated at Ai and made a bad covenant. What is it with these people?

David, the man after God’s own heart, became powerful and successful. Carelessly he broke Jehovah’s Commandments. Will it never end?

The special covenant people of Yahweh got hard-hearted and rejected the messages of His prophets. Is there any hope?

The Father sent His own Son to the people who had been given the plan and His prophecies, but they crucified Jesus. Is there any way?

Humans failed every purpose God had. They were complacent, they ignored, they denied and they rebelled. What is the answer?

God had faith; He saw good in humans and believed in them. The Creator refused to give up on humanity. Jesus is the Answer.

The loving Father had evidence of the things not seen and faith in the things He hoped for. God is the true Father of faith.
