The famous “Hall of Faith” is found in Hebrews 11, but how did these heroes possess such great faith? And what exactly is faith? How is it related to obedience and endurance and fruitfulness? In this final episode of our White Horse Inn series examining the book of Hebrews, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Nick Brennan look at the last few chapters of the book and its call for perseverance. They consider the role of suffering and discipline in believers’ sanctification and reflect on our role as priests, offering our whole lives to God as a sacrifice of praise.

Quote:

“These people are characterized by faith. And it’s interesting the way that faith produces all the ways they live. . . . He’s pointing to the kinds of reactions and lives they had and saying the only reason they lived like this is because of the kind of faith they had. It’s not so much just valorizing them, although they are the great and the good of the faith, and it’s not so much how great a faith they had. Rather, the reason they had this kind of faith was because of the kind of promises they had.”
