# Hebrews 11:1 Explanation **Hebrews 11:1** states: *"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see"* (NIV). In context, this verse serves as the introduction to the "Hall of Faith" chapter, where the author illustrates how Old Testament believers trusted God's promises despite not seeing their fulfillment in their lifetimes. The verse defines faith not as blind belief, but as confident trust in God's character and promises, which then enables believers to persevere through trials and live in light of future, unseen realities.
