Hebrews 11:1-2, 3, 39-40

Hebrews 11:1-2 MSG

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

Hebrews 11:3 MSG

By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.

Hebrews 11:39-40 MSG

Not one of these people, even though their lives of faith were exemplary, got their hands on what was promised. God had a better plan for us: that their faith and our faith would come together to make one completed whole, their lives of faith not complete apart from ours.
