Faith to See the Future - Epistle to the Hebrews Part 27
The author mentioned the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs to the same promise, lived as foreigners in the land. They dwelt in tents because they looked forward to a more permanent dwelling place, a heavenly one. The promised land was not the ultimate promise. God used the land to nurture a nation that would usher in the ultimate promise, Christ Jesus our Lord. The only way into the heavenly dwelling place is through faith in Him, not good works, not the works of the law. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. And faith is the certainty of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith believes, without a doubt, in God and His promises in Christ. The author sought to encourage the Jewish believers to keep the faith and that their faith should endure. And like the patriarchs, they should welcome the promises that they have not seen.
