With any bible study it becomes very apparent that God always has and always will require faith and belief from those who seek His ultimate plan for the redemption of mankind.
In the old testament we find examples of faith that delivered many and some ultimately changed the face of the earth.
Noah demonstrated an awesome faith when he built the ark saving his family and all the creatures of the earth, he also suffered the ridicule of all those around him, simply on God's promise that the world would be destroyed by water.
Abraham's faith was such that he offered the life of his son Isaac to God knowing that God would provide something to ease his agony.
Job endured unthinkable misery and the loss of everything he owned, including his family, having faith that God, in the end, would make it all right. Because of Job's faith, God returned everything he had lost.
Moses demonstrated an awesome faith when he relocated an entire nation of people over the power of the Egyptian Pharaoh, simply through a promise given by God's voice from a mountain top. Through the power of his faith, Moses went on to part the sea, and provide an existence for the Hebrew people for forty years then lead them to the land God had promised.

There are many more examples of faith that are demonstrated in the old testament, and there are many truly great things that were accomplished through that faith.
As we undertake the study of faith and belief, and how we should apply those two words to our lives, lets do it having faith that in the end the Lord's will shall be done in all of us always.
