Overcoming Through Faith!

Hebrews 11:36-40

Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

All persons of faith who had gone before focused their faith on God and his promises.  The fulfillment of God's promises to them has come in Jesus Christ, and their redemption is complete in Him.
