The Just Shall Live By Faith-Abraham-Faith Waiting
Hebrews 11:8-19: 8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place
which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not
knowing whither he went. 9By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a
strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him
of the same promise: 10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker is God. 11Through faith also Sara herself received strength
to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she
judged him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore sprang there even of one,
and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the
sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 13These all died in faith, not having
received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of
them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth. 14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a
country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they
came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16But now they
desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be
called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17By faith Abraham, when
he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up
his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be
called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead;
from whence also he received him in a figure.
