Hebrews 11:3 - Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Understand: to perceive with the mind; to heed, consider, apprehend.*
We do not simply accept or passively receive the fact that God created everything from out of nothing by speaking it into existence. We UNDERSTAND it. Some will simply go along with it. We APPREHEND it. We take it gladly take it into our minds and hearts. We EMBRACE it.
