One of the hardest things about the Christian faith is believing without seeing. But so many times a day we do things without know what the outcome will be. We get in our vehicles believing it will get us where we are going. Sometimes everything goes smoothly, then other times we have problems, but we still get where we are going. So it is with our faith in spiritual matters. We do not see or touch forgiveness as we might see or touch an object. Rather, we trust that forgiveness is real and that the God who has shown himself to be loving toward us, is in fact a God of love. The real test of faith, believing without seeing, is in our actions. It is easy to say that we believe this or that, but it is harder to live like we do. There is one object that I am sure is worthy of our trust. It takes believing without seeing, but Christ shows Himself true to those who follow Him. A lot of people fall into the trap of placing their trust in lesser things. To trust in our possessions is easy, because we can see them. They are right there before our eyes. But to trust Christ takes faith and faith in Christ requires believing without seeing. Prayer, hearing God’s Word preached, Bible Study with others, enjoying the fellowship of other believers are all great advantages to us. These make believing without seeing easier. They have been given to us by God for our benefit and He is wise in all He does.
