“for we walk by faith, not by sight.” 1 Cor 5:7

Our faith falters because we’re more visually stimulated rather than spiritually.

You may have heard the statement, “don’t believe anything you hear and half of what you see.”

Unfortunately, that should be the opposite. But our culture is such a visual creature, driven in our desires and sadly too much in our faith by what we see.

Isa 53:2 says, “there is no beauty that we should desire him” (JESUS).

The beauty that Jesus possesses in not physical but spiritual only!

Thus, Jesus wouldn’t be granted much of a platform by today’s standards. (and HE doesn’t)

One can’t obtain faith by a visual approach. The only application vision has in faith is by what we see in God’s Word.

The statement, “what you see is what you get?” How misleading is such a statement when contrasted between Jesus and what our culture displays!

The more we accept and buy into the cultural visual stigma the greater it hinders our faith.

Faith can’t be founded on what’s favorable to the eye, but rather what’s favorable to the heart.

Faith isn’t measured by outward appearance, but simply what’s in the heart.

“Faith is to believe what we don’t see, and the reward of such faith is to see what we believe.”
