Hebrews 11:8-12 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
This "faith chapter" is a historical illustration of what the preacher here is saying about living by faith. It is evident in the decisions and choices we make. It causes us to move, to live in tents, have children, be parents, and take responsibility - not only for ourselves, but for others. The faith God gives also has with it the grace to take those steps along the way of our lives.
