"You love the Lord even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see the Lord now, you trust Him, and you rejoice with a glorious inexpressible joy.
The reward for trusting the Lord will be the Salvation of your souls!"
We have all heard the expression that "seeing is believing". Nothing confirms a truth to a person like seeing something with their own eyes. We use our senses to confirm whether something is true or not. Think of an example in your own life. When a confirmed bachelor finally gets married, people say, I would not believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes! The list of examples is endless. The message is the same. We find something to be trustworthy if we see it with our own eyes. Seeing is believing!
Have you ever seen Jesus Christ the Lord God? Has the Lord revealed Himself in the flesh to you personally? Can you see the Lord right now? Then how can you be sure that He exists?
If all of our senses, including our sight do not reveal Him to us, does He exist? It takes genuine faith to believe something that the senses can not confirm to you personally. This is the real proof of your love for the Lord Jesus Christ. You Love Him even though you have never seen Him. You Trust Him even though your 5 senses have not experienced Him personally. You have inexpressible joy and you rejoice in the Knowledge of Him! NOT SEEING IS BELIEVING!
Your reward for trusting the Lord will be the Salvation of your Souls!
The Lord has proved His existence to us in so many ways. We see the Universe and the handy work of His Hand. We have the comfort of His Word and that of His Prophets to prove His existence. We have written on our hearts and minds the truth of His Word! We hear the still soft whisper of His voice in our ears. Our hearts are filled with the indwelling Spirit of the Lord! We know that because our 5 senses cannot discern something, does not mean that it does not exist. Praise God that He did become flesh and did dwell among us so that a record of His life could be given and used to understand that Jesus Christ is the Lord God! Even though He is not on the earth now, available to our senses, we know and have faith that the Lord is with us and preparing a place for us in Heaven. In our case, NOT SEEING IS BELIEVING!
