Reflect on and exegesis of Hebrews 11:13-16, “All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.” Explore the rhythm of Christian obedience. Faith, unlike any other human action, points completely away from the one doing it. Faith is only worth what its object is worth. It is the object of faith which receives glory and praise. The Bible highlights faith as the fundamental action of the Christian life. Faith is a human action whereby we trust God as our good.
