That is a message for us surely. You understand the word of God and you order your life according to its principles, and you obey God. Just as with Abel maybe in some way you will speak long after your death; the fruits of your spiritual activities will last in the world. We are to act on future certainties, things that are made certain because God has revealed them. These become the building blocks of our lives. We also encourage one another by ordering our lives according to these future certainties, so that they too have their faith strengthened.
