Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Hebrews 11:1-2 (KJV)
The early Church had a confession that influenced how they lived and the report they obtained because they fixed their attention on the hope of their calling. They lived in this world but they had a lively hope of the coming world; they saw the hope of the glory ahead and nothing in this world mattered to them. They made relevant choices to inherit the better world to come, they were persuaded of their rich inheritance in Christ. They embraced it and kept it as their confession such that they lived everyday as their last day on earth.
