Faith in Flawed Heroes
Commentators like Calvin and Spurgeon emphasize that this list includes figures with serious flaws, such as Samson and Jephthah. The author of Hebrews isn't endorsing their sins, but commending their moments of genuine faith. This shows that God honors and uses faith even when it is imperfect and resides in flawed people, offering encouragement to believers who are aware of their own shortcomings.
