Now faith is the assurance of things
hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of
old received their commendation.
(Hebrews 11:1-2)
In
a current culture that values celebrities over true heroes, it is no
wonder that we truely lack people who we can look up to and seek to
emulate. Hebrews chapter 11 gives an account of heroes of the Old
Testament who, by faith, obtained a good testimony. They make it such
that we have assurance in life, assurance in death, and assurance in
God's loving sovereignty.
