By faith is written at least 16 times in this 11th chapter of Hebrews. We must be very careful that we glorify not these Old Testament saints, but God, who deserves all of the glory and honor in granting each of them that faith which we so admire. Faith is the gift of God to all whom God saves! Salvation is of the LORD! And yet, once God has graciously given to us faith, now it's ours, and God expects us to live by it. The just shall live by faith.
