Faith lives from the invisible toward the visible. Abraham discovered trust in God’s promises anchored in an unseen realm. (Heb. 11:8-12, 13-16) 

Abraham believed God existed, believed He loved us unconditionally, and sought Him earnestly (Hebrews 11:6). Result: he could believe and obey God’s promises when there was no evidence of realizing those promises. 

Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as a firm conviction concerning things unseen and a confident expectation of future fulfillment. Faith trusts God for everything, while hope looks toward the future and trusts God for it.
