What does the Bible say about the promise given to Old Testament saints?

Answered in 1 source

The promise refers to Christ, which Old Testament saints anticipated but did not see fulfilled during their lifetime.

The promise mentioned in Hebrews refers to the promise of Jesus Christ, the Divine Savior. While the Old Testament saints had faith in this promise, they did not witness its fulfillment as it was accomplished in the New Testament. The scripture highlights that they received a good report through their faith yet did not see the promise itself materialize, as their faith looked forward to a Savior, whereas New Testament believers look back to the Savior who has come. This illustrates the strength of their faith, which persisted even without the historical confirmation of the Messiah's coming.
