《希伯来书》的这一章里，我们会发现一长串我们称之为“信心榜样”的人。这些经文描述了这样一些人，他们在日常生活中活出了对神的信心。信心是要被活出来的。

亚伯拉罕和撒拉相信神的应许，祂要把他们带到一个新的地方，并赐给他们后裔。过了很长一段时间，这些应许才得以实现，但他们信靠神，神成就了这些应许。

摩西信靠神会引导他带领祂的百姓脱离埃及的奴役。这花了很长时间和很多艰难的工作，经过了一系列的神迹，神把百姓救了出来。摩西又服侍神很多年，将神的律法传给百姓，设立敬拜礼仪，教导百姓怎样遵守神的道。（参出 12-40）

喇合是外邦人，当主将百姓带回（给亚伯拉罕的）应许之地时，她信靠神，成了神的子民。她成了耶稣的曾，曾……祖母。（参 书 2:1-21， 6:25； 太 1:1-6）

在我们的生活中，让我们在信心里也来这样做。我们往往需要对未见之事的信心和确据。我们所信的在耶稣再来的时候将会显明。祂是拯救我们脱离罪的那一位。祂是信实的那一位，所以我们蒙召，以活出信仰来回应祂。

In this chapter of Hebrews we find a long list of people whom we could call “heroes of faith.” These are descriptions of people whose faith in God showed in their actions as they lived out their everyday lives. Faith is intended to be lived out.

Abraham and Sarah trusted God’s promises to take them to a new land and to give them descendants. It took a long time for these promises to be fulfilled, but they trusted God, and he fulfilled those promises.

Moses trusted God to guide him in leading his people out of slavery in Egypt. It took a long time and a lot of hard work, and through a series of miracles God delivered the people. Then Moses served God for many more years, bringing God’s law to the people, setting up the worship of God, and teaching the people how to live God’s way (Exodus 12-40).

Rahab, an outsider, declared her faith in God and became one of God’s people when the Lord took them back into the land promised to Abraham. She became one of the great, great . . . grandmothers of Jesus. (See Joshua 2:1-21; 6:25; Matthew 1:1-6.)

As we live our lives, let us do so in faith. Often we need the confidence and assurance of what we cannot see. Our faith will be made sight when Christ comes again. He is the one who has saved us from our sin. He is the one who is faithful, so we are called to live out our lives in response to him.
