Tim Keller | April 3, 2005
Hebrews is written to help us have what it takes to face the difficulties of life. And in chapter 11, we’re told one of the keys is to be people of faith. But what is faith?
In our cultural moment, conservatives see faith as a moral virtue, while liberals see skepticism as a mark of intellectual maturity. As usual, the Bible’s understanding of faith is much more nuanced, much more sophisticated and complex, than either of those views.
Life-transforming faith, according to this text, has four aspects: 1) it’s rational, 2) it’s personal, 3) it’s foundational, and 4) it’s graceful.
