Hebrews 11

Verse 1 is one you should memorize. Faith is not "facts" or "feelings." Faith is hoping-for-certain that God wins out at all times and in all circumstances. Do you believe that? The author then goes on to show faith in biblical persons. It is noted that all died without seeing all the fruit of their faith. They didn't need to. They knew that their destination was a heavenly one, with God. The trip was eternal and death was but a mile marker. All this would be perfected in Jesus Christ.
