Hebrews 11:1

My favorite Bible verse is Hebrew 11:1, which says, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." This verse was my senior verse in high school. I look at this verse a lot if I am feeling down or lost. It talks about faith and what it is. As Christians we believe in God even though we have not seen Him, but our faith in Him is so great we believe without having to have proof with our eyes. I chose this verse because it helped me in high school and continues to help me. This Bible verse can help everyone anywhere with or without a problem because it reminds us about our continuous faith. I first came across this Bible verse my junior year in high school. I really do not remember exactly how I found it, but when I did I highlighted it and almost went over it everyday. After I memorized the verse it has stayed on my heart ever since. This verse has impacted my life so much ever since my senior year in high school. Last year I did a devotion for my volleyball team before a game, and I used Hebrews 11:1. We all need something to believe in, and the Bible is the one thing that will never let us down in our lives. As we live our years here on earth we should remember what we are here for so we live our purpose. The Bible is our manual and when we rely and have faith in God we cannot go wrong.

  2. This is such a great verse! I agree, this verse can help anyone struggling with faith, and serves as a reminder that it is not something seen, but felt. =]

  3. This verse is great to remember because without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). When our faith is tested and we make the right choice, I think God smiles. :)

  4. I also agree this verse is great. As Christians we need to be reminded all the time our faith is nothing that we have done on our own. It's what He has already done through the resurrection and thats what gives us hope because he conquered death that we may live.
