Summary
Hebrews 11 showcases Old Testament believers who trusted God's promises despite suffering and persecution, demonstrating that faith means believing in invisible future realities and expressing that belief through obedient action. The author calls persecuted Hebrew Christians to endure by imitating these ancients' heavenly mindset and trust in God's faithfulness.
Highlights
Faith is simply trust. I trust you. I have faith in you. I believe what you say. I believe who you are. That's what faith in God is.
Show me your verbs. You say you believe, but show me by the verbs in your life. What are your verbs? What action is being prompted by your trust in Jesus?
This earth is not your ultimate home. Don't sink your roots here too deeply. You won't be here long. Don't put your hope in this world, but long for another world, a better world, a heavenly one.
