"By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks" (Hebrews 11:4; NKJV).
Hebrews 11:4 explains Genesis 4:3-5. For Abel to offer his sacrifice "by faith," God must have spoken to them concerning their offering to Him. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17; NKJV).
Faith comes by hearing. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. When God speaks and we hear and obey, we act by faith. Follow the example of Abel. Hear the word of God and obey.
