Hebrews 11:29-40
The Meaning of Faith Part 4 - The Faith of Other Israelite Heroes

The faith of so many are pictured in Hebrews 11. in many studies it is called the :hall of Faith". It vividly show us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Many of these characters did not know the outcome of their actions, but by faith they continued forward anyway knowing that God was on their side. By faith, we must move forward and believe God because in the end God will be glorified and others will be saved and come to know Him.

Scripture Meditations encourages one to  take the time to stop for a moment and embrace inspirational scripture from the Bible that will refuel you for the day. These moments of inspiration are taken from the Bible and special inspirational readings. Hopefully this space will inspire you as the listener to start your week with hope, joy, love, and peace.

Enjoy a moment of meditation today.


The Faith of Other Israelite Heroes

29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.

32 And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented— 38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

39 Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect.
