Commentary on Hebrews 11:8
Abraham 'when he was called to go out' into an inheritance, 'obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.' This is faith's essence—trusting God's word enough to obey without seeing the outcome. He left the familiar (Ur, a sophisticated city) for the unknown (Canaan) based solely on God's promise. Faith acts on God's word before seeing fulfillment.
