There are many stories mentioned or alluded to in these verses. Through Hebrews 11 we can see that God takes a general promise and throughout history narrows down the promise to exactly where the Redeemer would come from. Later God narrowed the promise through Isaac’s son Jacob and then through the house of David.

Throughout the Bible God gave more and more specifics for who the Redeemer would be and where He would come from. This promise was originally given to Eve when God said that from her seed the Redeemer, a Savior, would come. God promised that there would be a Redeemer who would come and save humanity from the punishment of their sin. The initial promise was given in Genesis 3:15. In Hebrews 11 there is a constant reference to the promise that God had given to various people. Here is the list of names mentioned in Hebrews 11 which make up the Hall of Faith: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sara, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthae, David, Samuel and the prophets. James 2 teaches that a man (or woman) who has faith in the promises of God will show their faith through their actions. Romans 4 tells us that Abraham was not saved because he obeyed God rather, his obedience to God was a result of his faith. We don’t earn our faith because of good actions right actions are a result of proper faith. While many of the stories point to specific actions that were done, it is important to see that their faith produced the action and not the other way around. To understand each of these it is necessary to read the account in the Old Testament where these stories originate. In this chapter there are various names of men and women of faith and snippets of their stories. Everything we do should be done in faith. When we try to work out our salvation or our daily Christian walk in our flesh, that is not pleasing to God.

It says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” We must have faith to please God. While we cannot see God, we can have faith in Him because of the proof that He has given to us through history, science, nature and His Word.īeyond the simple definition of faith in verse 1 there is a practical application of faith in verse 6. There are plenty of evidences through history and science which proclaim the accuracy of the Bible. We have God’s Word, the Bible, which proclaims that God exists. We have nature which tells us there is a Creator (Romans 1:19-23 Hebrews 11:2). We believe there is a God, not because we can see Him, but because we have plenty of evidence that He exists.

Definition of FaithĪ simple definition of faith is given in verse 1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” While faith is putting our trust in something we cannot see, it does not mean that there is no evidence for that faith. Beyond reading the accounts of the people mentioned in Hebrews 11, we should look into the Old Testament stories which are referenced in this great chapter. This wonderful chapter is an example to us on how we can, and should, have faith in God as well. It lists many men and women who showed faith in God and His promise. The 11 th chapter of Hebrews is known as the Hall of Faith in the Bible.
