II Corinthians 5:7 “We live by faith, not by sight.” The unbelieving world has an extremely difficult time with this verse. The faith filled follower of God has no problem whatsoever with this verse. Jesus lived, died and rose for you and me—that is believed by every faith filled child of God. No he didn’t or prove it—is the reaction of the worldly. Eternity in Heaven for the faith filled is coming. Eternity is coming for the worldly—but where? You and I could not be more blessed than to have confidence in the truth of this passage. Have a great weekend.

II Corinthians 5:1 “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal home in heaven, not built by human hands.” The inevitable truth is–our earthly bodies will fail us and our life on this earth will come to an end. We can prolong life, but that is the best we, on this earth, can do. How can something be both sad and happy? When our earthly life ends our joy of eternity in Heaven begins. What will our future home be like? No one on this earth knows. All we do know is—it will be fantastic!

II Corinthians 4:18 “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Eyesight is a wonderful blessing. I am sure none of us has ever heard anyone say–I wish I couldn’t see. If eyesight is a miraculous blessing allowing each of us to enjoy our surroundings, how even more wonderful is God’s blessing to each of us to fix our eyes on eternity with our God in Heaven? The greatest blessing of all is to fix our sight on the wonders of eternity with our Heavenly Father.

II Corinthians 4:4 “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” There could not be a sadder truth than what this passage states. The god/gods of this time and life often seem to bring irresistible pleasures which dominate the lives of many. The truth is: these pleasures are so very temporary and damaging to an eternity of joy. If God seems boring or lacking one does not know God. There is nothing more thrilling and satisfying than enjoying a close relationship with our Heavenly Father.

II Corinthians 1:24c “…we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.” A strong faith gives you and me stability. You and I can own all this world has to offer for security, but no one can buy the most secure possession: faith. Stability and surety are gifts from our Heavenly Father, though intangible, are the most solid possessions we can ever hope to call ours. Joy, peace and security are evidence of a faith which will never fail.
