About Hebrews 11"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and "without faith it is impossible to please him." By faith Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Sara, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab and many others trusted God, and "These all died in faith, not having received the promises," confessing "that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." They "obtained a good report through faith," yet "received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect."
