By faith The phrase "by faith" is a recurring theme in Hebrews 11, often referred to as the "Faith Chapter." It emphasizes the means by which the patriarchs and other figures of the Old Testament lived their lives in accordance with God's promises. The Greek word for faith, "pistis," implies trust, belief, and confidence in God. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but a deep-seated trust that results in action. In the context of Hebrews, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It is the foundation upon which the heroes of faith acted, demonstrating their reliance on God's promises despite not seeing their fulfillment in their lifetimes. he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country He lived in tents as did Isaac and Jacob who were heirs with him of the same promise Parallel Commentaries ...
