Hebrews says to discouraged, persecuted people, “Do not throw away your faith because a great cloud of witnesses surrounds us!” Hebrews chapter eleven is known as the "faith chapter", and gives reasons why we should hold on to our faith. Faith saves and gives substance to our hope. We must live by faith. The author gives many examples of what faith can mean and what faith can do. The author closes with an exhortation to obey those who are our spiritual shepherds.
