Notes
Like his ancestor Abraham, Moses showed faith by leaving Egypt, the land he knew, and stepping into an unknown future (Exodus 2:15).
not fearing the king's anger: Instead of fearing the king's anger, he focused on God, who is invisible.
These strong examples of faith start with Abraham's family and end with Rahab. They show that faith is the only way to respond to God.
Chapter 11 gives a long list of people who trusted God. This shows clearly that living by faith is the only true way to follow God. The writer keeps repeating the words “by faith” to make this message clear. Each example follows the same pattern:
(a) the phrase by faith,
(b) the person's name,
(c) the event or action showing faith, and
(d) the result.
