Answers will vary but look for:
Faith has always been a key response God desires from us. He does not demand perfection, nor does He value ceremonies or eloquence over faithfulness.
We are recipients of the faithfulness of those who have preceded us. We see their beginning, growth and result of their faithfulness.
See the associated text from the introductory information.
Assurance – The foundation of our faithfulness
Conviction – The evidence that sustains our faithfulness
The result of our faith; "Hope for things not seen" are the blessings and promises made by God through Christ. They include the promise forgiveness, resurrection and eternal life which cannot be seen by the human eye but are grasped through the eyes of faith and delivered by the word of God.
Answers will vary. Look for how the examples of how they expressed their faith, remained faithful, grew in faith and how they were rewarded by God.
Look also for how they gained approval from God by developing the knowledge of God, trust in God and obedience to God.
We may not possess eloquence or full understanding of God's will, but faithfulness is achievable by all. God does not demand perfection, but does demand faithfulness and rewards it.
Faith is one of the most important elements in our relationship with God. It must exist before we can know God. Our spiritual growth is linked to our growth in faith.
