In answering the question “What is faith?”, Hebrews 11 shows us that faith is not blind optimism or wishful thinking, but thoughtful, confident trust in a faithful God who has spoken and acted. True faith believes God’s promises, rests on His proven character, and reshapes how we live even when the path ahead does not make sense. This passage calls us not merely to believe in God, but to believe God, placing the full weight of our lives on His word and His Son.
