What does Hebrews 11:1 say faith is?
Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance, the very core and epitome, of things hoped for. It is the substance of evidence for things not seen—things you cannot touch or see. Only by faith can one comprehend the invisible.
Les explains that faith is the substance, the very core, and the epitome of things hoped for. It is the substance of evidence for things not seen, things you cannot touch or see. The only way to comprehend the invisible is by faith. Verse 2 says by it the elders, the Old Testament saints, obtained a good report. Verse 3 says through faith, by taking God at His Word, we understand that the worlds and universe were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
