According to Hebrews 11:1, ..Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”

Abraham is called the father of faith because he demonstrated a great deal of faith in his walk with God. It can be seen in this Bible quotation below, Genesis 12:1.

“…..he that believeth shall not make haste”.
