2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
John Gill's commentary says, "...Faith is a grace which answers many useful purposes; it is the eye of the soul, by which it looks to Christ for righteousness, peace, pardon, life, and salvation; the hand by which it receives him, and the foot by which it goes to him, and walks in him as it has received him; which denotes not a single act of faith, but a continued course of believing; and is expressive, not of a weak, but of a strong steady faith of glory and happiness..."[1]
Faith is the confidence that causes us to take each step in this life as we await the day when we finally and fully dwell in the presence of the Lord.
