The Meaning of Faith

11Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.G1161G4102G2076G5287G1679G1650G4229G3756G991 2By faith our ancestors won approval.G1063G1722G5026G4245G3140 3By faith we understand that time was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are invisible.G4102G3539G165G2675G4487G2316G1519G3588G991G1096G3361G1096G1537G5316 4By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did, and by faith he was declared to be righteous, since God himself accepted his offerings. And by faith he continues to speak, even though he is dead.G4102G6G4374G2316G4119G2378G3844G2535G1223G3739G3140G1511G1342G2316G3140G1909G846G1435G2532G1223G846G599G2089G2980G2980 5By faith Enoch was taken away without experiencing death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he won approval as one who pleased God.G4102G1802G3346G1492G3361G1492G2288G2532G2147G3756G2147G1360G2316G3346G846G1063G4253G846G3331G3140G2100G2316 6Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.G1161G5565G4102G102G2100G1063G4334G2316G1163G4100G3754G2076G2532G1096G3406G1567G846 7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, reverently prepared an ark to save his family, and by faith he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes by faith.G4102G3575G5537G4012G3369G991G3369G2125G2680G2787G1519G4991G846G3624G1223G3739G2632G2889G2532G1096G2818G1343G2596G4102 8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.G4102G11G2564G1831G1519G5117G3739G3195G2983G1519G2817G5219G2532G1831G3361G1987G4226G2064 9By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who also inherited the same promise,G4102G3939G1519G1093G1860G5613G245G2730G1722G4633G3326G2464G2532G2384G4789G846G1860 10because he was waiting for the city with permanent foundations, whose architect and builder is God.G1063G1551G4172G2192G2310G3739G5079G2532G1217G2316 11By faith Sarah, even though she was old and barren, received the strength to conceive, because she was convinced that the one who had made the promise was faithful.G4102G2532G4564G846G2983G1411G1519G2602G4690G2532G5088G3844G2540G2244G1893G2233G4103G1861 12Abraham was as good as dead, yet from this one man came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.G1352G1080G2532G575G1520G2532G5023G3499G2531G798G3772G4128G2532G5616G285G3588G3844G2281G5491G382 13All these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that were promised, yet they saw them in the distant future and welcomed them, acknowledging that they were strangers and foreigners on earth.G3778G3956G599G2596G4102G3361G2983G1860G235G1492G846G4207G2532G3982G2532G782G2532G3670G3754G1526G3581G2532G3927G1909G1093 14For people who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own.G1063G3004G5108G1718G3754G1934G3968 15If they had been thinking about what they had left behind, they would have had an opportunity to go back.G2532G3303G1487G3421G1565G575G3739G1831G302G2192G2540G344 16Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he has prepared a city for them.G1161G3570G3713G2909G5123G2032G1352G2316G1870G3756G1870G846G1941G846G2316G1063G2090G846G4172 17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac - he who had received the promises was about to offer his unique son in sacrifice,G4102G11G3985G4374G2464G2532G324G1860G4374G3439 18about whom it had been said, "It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you."G4314G3739G2980G3754G1722G2464G2564G4671G4690G2564 19Abraham was certain that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did get Isaac back in this way.G3049G3754G2316G1415G1453G2532G1537G3498G3606G2532G2865G846G1722G3850 20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.G4102G2464G2127G2384G2532G2269G4012G3195 21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons "and worshiped while leaning on the top of his staff."G4102G2384G599G2127G1538G5207G2501G2532G4352G1909G206G846G4464 22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave them instructions about burying his bones.G4102G2501G5053G3421G4012G1841G5207G2474G2532G1781G4012G846G3747 23By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and were not afraid of the king's order.G4102G3475G1080G2928G5150G5259G846G3962G1360G1492G791G3813G2532G5399G3756G5399G935G1297 24By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter,G4102G3475G1096G3173G720G3004G5207G5328G2364 25because he preferred being mistreated with God's people to enjoying the pleasures of sin for a short time.G138G3123G4778G2992G2316G2228G2192G619G266G4340 26He thought that being insulted for the sake of the Messiah was of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.G2233G3680G5547G3187G4149G2233G2344G1722G125G1063G578G1519G3405 27By faith he left Egypt, without being afraid of the king's anger, and he persevered because he saw the one who is invisible.G4102G2641G125G3361G5399G2372G935G1063G2594G5613G3708G517 28By faith he established the Passover and the sprinkling of blood to keep the destroyer of the firstborn from touching the people.G4102G4160G3957G2532G4378G129G3363G3645G4416G2345G846 29By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it were dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do this, they were drowned.G4102G1224G2063G2281G5613G1223G3584G3739G124G3984G2983G2666 30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.G4102G5038G2410G4098G2944G1909G2033G2250 31By faith Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies with a greeting of peace.G4102G4204G4460G4881G3756G544G1209G2685G3326G1515 32And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell you about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets.G2532G5101G3004G2089G3004G1063G5550G1952G3165G1334G4012G1066G5037G913G2532G4546G2532G2422G1138G2532G5037G4545G2532G4396 33Through faith they conquered kingdoms, administered justice, received promises, shut the mouths of lions,G3739G1223G4102G2610G932G2038G1343G2013G1860G5420G4750G3023 34put out raging fires, escaped death by the sword, found strength in weakness, became powerful in battle, and routed foreign armies.G4570G1411G4442G5343G4750G3162G575G769G1743G1096G2478G1722G4171G2827G3925G245 35Women received their dead raised back to life. Other people were brutally tortured, but refused to be ransomed, so that they might gain a better resurrection.G1135G2983G846G3498G1537G386G1161G243G5178G3756G4327G629G2443G5177G2909G386 36Still others endured taunts and floggings, and even chains and imprisonment.G1161G2087G2983G3984G1701G2532G3148G1161G2089G1199G2532G5438 37They were stoned to death, sawed in half, and killed with swords. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins. They were needy, oppressed, and mistreated.G3034G4249G3985G599G1722G5408G3162G4022G1722G3374G1722G122G1192G5302G2346G2558 38The world wasn't worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and from caves to holes in the ground.G3739G2889G2258G3756G514G4105G1722G2047G2532G3735G2532G4693G2532G3692G1093 39All these people won approval for their faith but they did not receive what was promised,G2532G3778G3956G3140G1223G4102G2865G3756G1860 40since God had planned something better for us, so that they would not be perfected without us.G2316G4265G5100G2909G5100G4012G2257G3363G5048G5565G2257G5048G3363G5048
