"By Faith"

Inspired by HEBREWS 11: 1-7

Faith of the Ancients. ¹ Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. ² Because of it the ancients were well attested. ³ By faith we understand that the universe was ordered by the word of God, so that what is visible came into being through the invisible. ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice greater than Cain’s. Through this he was attested to be righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts, and through this, though dead, he still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and “he was found no more because God had taken him.” Before he was taken up, he was attested to have pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him, for anyone who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, warned about what was not yet seen, with reverence built an ark for the salvation of his household. Through this he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes through faith.

Outer Frame Dimensions:

- Height:  32 inches

- Width:  24 inches

- Depth:  2.75 inches (width from wall outward)

- Thickness:  approx. 1.5 inches (width when viewed from the front)

*Note regarding thickness:

While we aim for 1.5" thickness on every frame, this dimension can vary (only by fractions of an inch) from frame to frame. Often, in order to remove imperfections, the wood must be made slightly thinner to remove twists, cups, bows, flaws, etc. In the end, the outer frame is always plenty thick and very impressive!
