Hebrews 11
1 Faith is being sure of what we hope for. Faith is knowing what we cannot see is real.
8 By faith Abraham heard God call him to a new place. God would give him that land. He obeyed and left. He did not even know where he was going!
17 By faith Abraham got tested by God. He offered up Isaac as a sacrifice. God gave him promises. Everything hung on Isaac! But Abraham was ready to give up his only son.
32 What else can I say? I would run out of time if I told you about Gideon. About Barak. About Samson. About Jephthah. About David. About Samuel. About all the prophets!
