Faith Vs Sight
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
II Corinthians 5:7 NKJV
Martin Luther said " Faith is taking the first step ,even if you don't see the whole staircase
Walking by faith ,not by sight means even though you might not be able to see where you going ,you keep moving.
With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
All things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23
1. Define Faith

2. By Faith no by Sight

3. Faith comes before sight.

Paul spoke about things not seen.
We learn that afflictions serves as a useful purpose in our lives.
Summary
Faith lifts us above the realm of our own abilities and makes God’s possibilities available to us.
Faith connects us to two unseen realities: God and His Word. As we maintain a relationship with God through faith, we are enabled to endure and to overcome the tests and the hardships that confront us in our daily lives.
These, in turn, become opportunities for God to reveal His goodness and His glory.
There is an ongoing tension between faith and sight. Our old nature is at home in the world of the senses, and it demands to see.
As Christians, we need to cultivate the new nature, which is able to trust God and His Word without demanding other evidence.
