(From Forerunner Commentary)
They became that way! Even though God may not have given a specific calling to these people, because evidence of His existence is clearly available, God considers them to have rejected the possibility of a relationship with Him. This is how God feels about what man has done. John W. Ritenbaugh
In the second phrase, faith is what others see in the conduct of a faithful person's life. Evidence of the unseen things gives a person conviction. John W. Ritenbaugh
What is the "evidence of things not seen?" God's words. The rest of the chapter with its examples of faith illustrates that the faithful had only His words as evidence.
