Our Scripture Of The Week Is:
Hebrews 11:1 KJV
[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
This often-quoted verse gives a direct definition of faith, meant to be read in the context of the rest of this letter. At the end of chapter 10, the writer of Hebrews finished describing why the new covenant in Jesus Christ was superior to the old covenant of animal sacrifices (Hebrews 10:1–18).
This concluded with a reassuring reminder not to "shrink back," but to "have faith" (Hebrews 10:39). The definition given here is meant to tie this command to the examples given later on. After this verse, the writer will explain how the actions of various biblical figures proved both the existence and validity of their faith.
Those contexts—former evidence and future expectation—are essential when interpreting the meaning of these words.
