What the Bible Means by Faith

We find some of the richest theological reflection in the new testament, i think, in the letter to the hebrews. We don't know for sure who wrote it but scholars are almost certain he did not. It's an invitation to a hero's journey. By faith, abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. He sojourned in the promised land as in a foreign country,. dwelling in tents with isaac and jacob, heirs of the same promise. They had to follow that promise in faith too. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations whose architect and maker is god.
