In the Christian life, faith is believing the invisible, it is seeing the unseen world. Therefore, the goal of the Christian life is to grow eyes. As you read about the heroes of the faith contained in the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11, you cannot help but notice the focus on the future: the unseen future promised by the Lord.
It begins by declaring: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.” 11:1-3
Faith is Vision. It is to believe the invisible. It is able to see the unseen. Noah is remembered as one who did not see, but worked for God by faith. "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith." 11:7
Abraham did not know or see where he was to go, but obeyed God’s call and by faith went out. "By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going." 11:8
Moses, seeing the riches of Egypt, by faith chose to see Him who was unseen and see the unseen reward reserved in heaven. "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin; considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen." 11:24-27
Faith is vision. However, we must remember--- Faith is not being sure things will turn out okay. Faith is being okay no matter how things turn out.
Do you see life that way?
Serving Him with you, until He comes for us.
