• means the things we offer to God are acceptable to him (v4)
• means God accepts us as righteous in his sight (v4)
• means that our testimony will live on after we have died (v4)
• beats death - in the case of Enoch without him going through physical death (v5)
• pleases God (v6)
• condemns the anti-God world with its trust in God (v7)
• brings righteousness (v7)
• leads us to go places with God that we don't yet know (v8)
• leads us to accept living in alien places and difficult circumstances for God (v9)
• expects and sees miracles - in Abraham and Sarah's case a humanly impossible child (v11)
• produces confidence that God will work all things for good even if we don't see the outcomes before we die (v13)
