Walking By Faith 2 Corinthians 5:7

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

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

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

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

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

There is no walking by faith when there is no action!
