Hebrews 11:1
(The Great Bible)
Fayth is a sure confydence of thynges, whych are hoped for,
& a certayntie of thynges whych are not sene.

translation:

Faith is a sure confidence of things, which are hoped for, and a certainty of things which are not seen.

summary:

Faith supplies “the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see”. By it the ancients gained God’s approval, and by it we understand that the universe was fashioned by God’s word so that the visible came from the invisible.

Faith: Assurance, Not Wishful Thinking
• Hebrews 11:1 pairs “assurance” and “certainty,” stressing solidity.

Living by Faith Today
• Listen to God’s word (Romans 10:17).
• Obey promptly, like Abraham.
• Persevere under pressure, like Moses.
• Welcome outsiders, like Rahab.
• Keep eyes on the unseen city, like every pilgrim in Hebrews 11.
The same God who sustained them remains faithful now.

Definition of Faith
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see. This foundational verse sets the stage for understanding faith as both a confident expectation and a conviction in the unseen.

Practical Applications:

Cultivate Assurance
Strengthen your faith by regularly meditating on God’s promises and trusting in His character, even when circumstances seem uncertain.

Act in Obedience
Like Abraham, be willing to step out in faith and obey God’s leading, even when the path is unclear.

Persevere Through Trials
Draw inspiration from the endurance of biblical figures, and rely on God’s strength to persevere through life’s challenges.

Focus on Eternal Promises
Keep your eyes fixed on the eternal promises of God, allowing them to shape your perspective and priorities.

Hebrews 11, often known as the “Hall of Faith,” is a powerful chapter in the New Testament, highlighting the role and importance of faith in the life of a believer. The chapter uses examples from the Old Testament to show how faith guided and empowered men and women to perform God’s will, even amidst great trials.

hope you have a great day!
