Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
1 Corinthians 4:2

Hebrews 11:1-711 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.4 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.5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; [{{f}}] for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Hebrews 11:1-7
Faith is only required when we do not see the fulfillment of a promise or the answer to a prayer. That is why the writer to the Hebrews said that faith is “being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1, NIV1984). If we are not “sure and certain,” we do not have faith. The Classic Amplified Version of the Bible expands on Hebrews 11:1: Faith is “perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”
We most often think of faith in terms of trusting God for our short or long-term needs. But what about faith when it comes to trusting God for His prophetic plans for planet Earth? When this world pressures us to conform our lives to its values and standards, are our eyes of faith fixed—are we “sure and certain”—on the fact that God will ultimately reward our faithfulness? Faithfulness, Paul wrote, is the main trait required of those who follow Christ.
As cultures around the world grow dark in these latter days, let us remain “sure and certain” that God’s prophetic plans will be fulfilled.
Glory for the Christian is more certain than the grave.
