Not only did God speak of Moses as (Deuteronomy 34:10) one whom He “knew” face to face–as a man speaks to his friend–but Moses is spoken of at the Transfiguration as speaking to Christ of His impending suffering (Luke 9:29-32: Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem) We are taught that (Ps 25:14) The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. We also know that (Heb 11:6 . . without faith it is impossible to please God , because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
So, if God spoke to Moses face to face as a friend, if God confided in Moses (in the OT regarding the Israelites and in the NT about His own death and resurrection), and we know from that very text that Moses was in heaven at that time, we can come to some pretty clear conclusions, merely on those things.
But finally and surely, the scripture itself teaches us this directly in Heb 11:24-28:
“By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.”
Yes, absolutely! Moses had faith.
