"All These Died in Faith..."

“All These Died in Faith…”

Blessings folk!

We have been looking at the great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 11.

We have seen Abram/Abraham and Sarai/Sarah.

Read the synopsis in Hebrews 11…

Heb 11:8-13

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.


By faith they obeyed when called.
By faith they lived as an alien in the land of promise.
By faith they were looking for the city…
By faith they conceived.

By faith they died in faith without receiving the promises.
But, they saw them.
They believed and welcomed them from a distance.
They confessed, by faith, that they were strangers.

Think on this.
Do we live likewise?
