  Hebrews 11:1-3 1. Introduction to Hebrews 11:1-3 Hebrews 11:1-3 is a powerful passage in the Bible that explores the nature of faith and its relationship to our understanding of the unseen world. The writer of Hebrews begins by defining faith as the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. In other words, faith is our confidence in the reality of what we hope for and our certainty in the existence of what we cannot see. This concept is further supported by the writer's assertion that by faith, we understand that the universe was created by the word of God so that what is seen was not made out of visible things. Throughout the rest of Hebrews 11, the writer provides numerous examples of individuals who exemplified this kind of faith in their lives. By examining these examples and the related verses, we can gain a deeper understanding of the power and significance of faith in our own lives. So, let us delve into this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-3 and explore
