Hebrews 11:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 11:5

3 By faith we understand that ^athe worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Faith at the Dawn of History

4 By faith ^aAbel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still ^bspeaks.

5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, ^a“and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

7 By faith ^aNoah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, ^bprepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of ^cthe righteousness which is according to faith.

Faithful Abraham

8 By faith ^aAbraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:5-6

How? By his faith. He trusted God, did he not? And as a result, God became a rewarder, is the correct translation of that verb, it is part of the verb to be. He became a rewarder as a result of the trust. These verses are showing a relationship. They are showing the ingredients that were a major part of that relationship, and they are also showing some of the fruit of that relationship. So God and Enoch had a relationship. The ingredient of that relationship was a mutual trust and the fruit was that God rewarded him.
