God's Word Our Foundation

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith – Pistis: is information we receive from God. Acting on that information becomes belief. “Now the information that we received from God for us to act upon is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Substance – Hupostasis Combination of two Greek words: The First word is the Greek Preposition: “Under” The Second Greek word means to: “Stand” Now let's incorporate these definitions into Hebrew 11:1 with our new understanding of Pistis: “Now the information that we receive from God that we are to act upon stands under, as a foundation, the things we hope for and this foundation becomes our evidence for things we cannot see yet with our physical eyes... Let me sum this up: Revelation we receive and act upon becomes our foundation. This foundation assures us of things we cannot see yet we are believing for. When your feet are standing on the foundation you will be convinced of the reality of the promise.

Recompense

Recompense is a result of Justice and proceeds from God's vengeance. As a matter fact when God avenges His elect, He is bringing justice and when justice comes, it will always be accompanied by recompense. For example, Abimelech in Genesis 20 took Abraham's wife, Sarah. God told him, he was a dead man if he didn't return Sarah. When Abimelech concurred his life wasn't worth Abraham's wife he returned Sarah. What's amazing in this story is Abimelech gave Abraham: cattle, sheep, men-servants and women-servants for his trouble. What's even more amazing is the fact Abraham blessed the very man who took his wife! The greatest lesson in this account is not the recompense, but the fact that God will bring recompense to the pure in heart! There is more to come on this subject.
