6). What does it means to walk in faith?

Walking by faith and not by sight requires you to go to a place you do not know, one that God will reveal as you walk in obedience. Just look to Abraham as an example (Genesis 12:1).
Walking by faith means that you continue to cling to the dreams God has planted in your heart, even when you've been thrown away, taken to prison for crimes you didn't commit. Just look at all Joseph endured (Genesis 37-50). Walking by faith requires a strong determination to follow God's plan regardless what life throws your way. Look to Daniel to discover how to have the resolve not to sin (Daniel 1:8).
Walking by faith means you have the courage to stand up for the hurting, broken, and down-trodden, to face death yourself for the good of others. Look at Esther and how she risked the death penalty to save the Jews (Esther).


7). Why is Abraham known by the title "Father of faith"?

He[Abraham] is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed -- the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead -- since he was about a hundred years old -- and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God," (Romans 4:17b-20a NIV) Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

8). What is necessary for remaining in confident in the Father?

Prayer is necessary with expectation, confidence, boldness, assurance, diligence, and persistence.

9). How does the Father communicate with us?

We communicate with the Father through His Word, His Holy Spirit, and through prayers as we totally depend upon Him.

10). Instead of regretting our failures, we should do what?

Instead of regretting our failure, we should focus on God, and strengthen our sisters and brothers. Our heavenly Father will even allow us to teach others about His unfailing faithfulness.
