“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.” —-Hebrews 11:1, 7-8, 11, 17, 20, 22
