How do Old Testament figures illustrate faith?

Old Testament figures like Enoch and Noah exemplify what it means to have faith in God. They believed God’s Word, which led to actions that displayed their trust. For instance, Enoch 'walked with God' because he believed the gospel, as he was taught about the coming Messiah. Noah, similarly, by faith constructed the ark based on God’s warning about the flood, showing that faith produces obedience. Their lives illustrate that faith is not merely belief but is active and results in a lifestyle that honors God and adheres to His commandments.
