A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
How does Abraham show what it means to live by faith?
He leaves at God’s call and continues to trust God’s promise when its fulfillment is beyond what he can see.
Read the passage in context
- Hebrews 11:8–19 · KJV
Hebrews describes Abraham as both an active traveler and a patient resident in a foreign land. Read his faith through both experiences.
From the passage to daily life
The chapter looks beyond the land to the city God prepares. That larger horizon helps explain how a person can live faithfully through delay.
