2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Our scripture text makes a profound statement regarding our faith while on
this Christian journey, because without faith it impossible to please God. This
is because first, we must believe there is a God who created everything and He
exits as three persons in one. Second, we must believe that Jesus Christ is God's
Son who came to earth as human to pay man's sin-debt to restore a broken
relationship cause by sin. Third, our faith causes all believers to believe
that yes Christ rose on the third day as promised and is now seated at the
right hand of the Father making intercessions for us. Forth, it takes faith to
believe that all believers are now sons and daughters of God and are members of
His holy nation of priests set aside to do His will. Fifth, it takes faith that
just as Christ came the first time to pay man's sin-debt He is coming back
again for His church and all believers will reign with Him forever. Who are
Christ's church-all believers? Sixth, it takes faith to believe there is a
heaven and a hell and being out of Christ leads to spending eternity in hell,
which is being eternally separated from God our creator and sustainer.
A faith walk requires all
believers to see things with our spiritual eyes as though we see them with our
natural eyes.
