Summary of Bible Class with Roger Potter (Transcript on 2023-07-16 BC): In this Bible class, Roger Potter discusses the concept of faith and its significance in the Christian life. He starts by comparing different translations of Hebrews 11:1, highlighting that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. He emphasizes that faith is essential for relying on God's promises, as God is incapable of lying. Roger goes on to explain the difference between belief and faith. Belief is acknowledging God's existence, while faith is actively trusting and acting on that belief. He uses examples from Hebrews 11 to illustrate how various biblical figures demonstrated faith through their actions. Notably, Abel offered a better sacrifice, Enoch walked with God and was taken to heaven, Noah built an ark despite the lack of rain, and Abraham obeyed God's call and left his homeland. The discussion extends to doubting and questioning, as the class members share their thoughts. Roger acknowledges that doubt is a natural human emotion, but it shouldn't consume faith. He also touches on the topic of salvation and discusses the need to trust in Jesus to receive righteousness. Throughout the class, Roger emphasizes the importance of faith in action, demonstrating how the ancient heroes were commended for their trust and obedience to God's commands. He concludes by highlighting that, while many of them didn't see the fulfillment of God's promises during their lifetimes, their faith paved the way for the ultimate plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
