Hebrews 11:1 - 19

How important is faith? Faith is described as a confidence in what is not seen. It is through faith that the patriarchs obtained a 'good report' of their lives through their faith-motivated actions. It was through faith that these mighty men and women of old did remarkable works and saw amazing circumstances in their own lives. It was through their faith that God was able to accomplish what He had promised that these heroes lived such incredible lives.
