Hebrews 11 contains the Bible’s Hall of Faith, a cloud of witnesses from the storyline of Scripture. What are the defining characteristics of such faith? Hebrews 11:1–3 names two things: faith makes future hope solid and unseen reality visible, enabling us to see that this world, though visible, was made by God’s invisible word.
Creation
Hebrews 11:1-3
By Faith
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
