Walking By Faith 2 Corinthians 5 7 Unseen

Walking By Faith 2 Corinthians 5: 7

Unseen Things è Accept unseen realities as though they are as real as seen realities (Heb. 11: 1) èDid not see creation, but accept its reality based on evidence (Heb. 11: 3) èDid not see Jesus, but accept His reality based on evidence (Jn. 20: 29; Rom. 10: 8) èOther matters: news, history, geography, products

Unseen Things è By faith we keep pressing on to the goal (Heb. 11: 16) èKnowing God will reward those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11: 6) èKnowing our present problems are temporary (2 Cor. 4: 17 -18) èKnowing our present work is not in vain (1 Cor. 15: 58)

Examples è Sardis apparently alive, but really dead (Rev. 3: 1) è Laodicea apparently prosperous, but really poor (Rev. 3: 16) è Paul looked past outward man to inward man (2 Cor. 4: 16)

Walking By Faith Demands Action è The action of walking by faith is illustrated in Hebrews 11 èNoah built an ark (7) èAbraham left for Canaan (8) èMoses forsook Egypt (27)

Walking By Faith Demands Action è Which is the bigger mistake? èA wrong action or a lack of any action? è Notice the two sons (Matt. 21: 28 -32) èThe second one was all talk, no action èThe first one changed his mind for the better è“Which of the two did the will of his father? ” èWhich one am I? èMaybe we need to change our minds so we can do the will of the Father

There is no walking by faith
