Faith to See the Heavenly Country

Journeying in Hebrews chapter 11, our inspired author speaks of the faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Sarah. They were looking forward to promises that were distant from them. They were looking for a homeland, but we would be wrong to think that they were primarily thinking of a temporal home. Their faith was ultimately looking forward to that heavenly country which God alone can offer to His people.
