   Trust that God completes what faith begins. God withheld final   
   fulfillment so that all His people would share together in what He   
   provides in Christ (11:40, ESV).   
      
   Summary   
      
   Hebrews 11 teaches that God records men of faith to reveal what pleases   
   Him, to confirm His promises, and to point us to Christ. The chapter   
   does not call believers to nostalgia or hero worship. It calls believers   
   to endure, obey, and hope in God, trusting that what He promised in   
   Christ will surely come to pass.   
      
      
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
