Hebrews 11:1
Hebrews 11:1-3
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see. This is why the ancients were commended. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Berean Standard Bible · public domain
Faith isn't wishful thinking; it's a substance — something with weight you can stand on. The chapter that follows is a roll-call of Old Testament saints who staked their lives on what they could not yet see.
