Hebrews 11:1–22 reveals faith as confident trust in God’s promises, demonstrated through Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, who obeyed God even when fulfillment was unseen.
Through Christ’s sacrifice, believers have bold access to God. Therefore, we must hold firmly to faith, encourage one another, reject willful sin, endure suffering, and live as those who draw near rather than shrink back.
The old covenant required repeated sacrifices that could never remove sin. Jesus, through His once-for-all sacrifice and shed blood, established the new covenant, cleansed our conscience, and opened the way for us to confidently enter God's presence.
Jesus mediates a better covenant established on better promises. The old covenant and earthly tabernacle pointed to heavenly realities, but Christ entered the true sanctuary and, through His own blood, secured eternal redemption and inaugurated the new covenant.
