1. Faith is the reality of our hopes, and evidence that invisible things exist.
2. Because by faith our examples accomplished great things.

4. By faith Abel gave God the best offering he possibly could have, unlike Cain, and it testified of how genuine his faith is.
5. By faith Enoch was transformed without dieing; he could not be found after God transformed him, because his testimony was that he pleased God before his transformation.
6. Without faith it is impossible to gratify God: because for anyone to even approach God they must believe that God exists, and God rewards anyone who sincerely craves God.
7. By faith Noah acted earnestly when he was warned by God of things to come by preparing a ship to save his household; humanity was condemned to death but Noah gained his reputation by faith.
8 By faith Abraham obeyed God without any sense of where he was going, when he was called out to an unknown place where he was to go for an inheritance.
9. By faith he journeyed to the land he was promised, a strange area, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob; the heirs of the same promise, traveling with him.
10. He searched for a city with foundations designed and built by God.
11. By faith Sara’s body was also strengthened to produce and conceive an embryo, and delivered a child after menopause, because she chose to believe that God is trustworthy.
12. Therefore one person, Abraham, who had no likelihood of descendants ended up with as many as there are stars in the sky and grains of sand on the sea shore; innumerable.
13. All of these people depended on faith through their death without receiving all that was promised them, but perceiving and being convinced of the promises far ahead of time they embraced them as a testimony that their confidence in faith was unusual and foreign to humanity.
14. Because anyone who claim things of faith testify that they are search for a foreign way of life.
15. If they kept in mind how they came they might have returned.
.16. But they crave a better way of living instead; that which is extra dimensional: therefore God is not disgraced by being identified as their God; for God has prepared a way of life for them.
17. By faith Abraham began to sacrifice Isaac when he was tested: Abraham offered his only conceived son by his wife,
18. even though Isaac was the only one through whom God’s blessings were promised.
19. This was proven by God’s ability to bring him to birth from Abraham and Sara’s inability to conceive.
20. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau for their future.

afraid of the king’s commandment against such
children.
24. By faith Moses refused to continue living
as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter when he
grew to the age of accountability.
25. He chose a life of suffering with the people of God instead of living the temporarily easy life of rebellion against God.

30. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they walked around them for seven days.
31. By faith the harlot Rahab was not destroyed along with the unbeliers because she received the spies in peace.
32. And what more should I say? Because there is not enough time to tell about Gedeon, Barak, Samson, Jephthae, David, Samuel, and the prophets:
33. Who through faith conquered kingdoms, worked genuinely, claimed God’s promises, kept the mouths of lions shut,
34. stopped fiery destruction, escaped death by sword, were made strong by weakness, were courageous fighters, faced foreign armies.
Hebrews 11:40
Your Name Here
26. Endearing the hardship of Christ more valuable than Egyptian treasures; because he cherished the hardship preceding his reward
27 By faith he rejected Egypt without fear of the king’s anger: he endured as if the invisible messiah was with him.
35. Women received dead acquaintances raised to life again: others were tortured without accepting freedom so that they might achieve a more honorable resurrection:
36. Others were tested with ridicule and brutal beating, yes, even more so by being bound and imprisoned:
37. They were stoned, sawn in pieces, tempted, killed with swords: they lived in poverty wearing sheep and goat skins because they owned nothing, had excessive injuries, and lived in great distress.
38. Humanity does not deserve their presence as they wandered in the deserts, mountains, dens and caves underground.
39. All of these left witness of their faith and did not receive their promise before they died.
