Commentary
Hebrews 11 is a chapter that speaks to the power of faith. It begins by defining faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This definition is then followed by a long list of examples of people who had faith in God and were rewarded for it. These examples include Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Rahab. Each of these individuals had faith in God and were rewarded for it in some way.
