What are the benefits of walking by faith, snd not by sight?
The Bible teaches that after the early apostle had preached the gospel to the city and taught many; they returned to them again and confirmed the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith.
They encouraged them not to be discouraged by the tribulations that might come upon them. They exhorted that tribulations will come but they must continue in the faith because it is part of the journey.
[Acts 14:21-22 KJV] “And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
It is much easier to both endure and enjoy a situation if you know why you’re experiencing it. When you know why you must do something, it is easier to do it.
I want to share only five simple benefits of walking by faith and not by sight.
1. Walking by faith will help you to obtain an excellent report or testimony. It will set you above ordinary men. You will live a higher life. (See Hebrews 11:3)
2. Walking by faith will help you to gain an understanding of hidden and complex mysteries like the creation story. (See Hebrews 11:3)
3. Walking by faith will inspire and help you to make the right decisions, choices, and actions. Look at Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses; each of them and many more were able to make the right choices, take the right decisions, and do the right things. (See Hebrews 11: 4-6; 24-26)
4. Walking by faith connects and helps you to receive the strength to do the impossible. Sarah received strength to conceive and deliver at 90 years. (See Hebrews 11:11)
5. Walking by faith will help you to hold on till death, and die embracing the promise even when it is far. (See Hebrews 11: 13-16)
Walking by faith will help you to live an extraordinary life. I have no doubt that we need to walk by faith and not by sight. We will achieve more if we walk by faith and stay positive.
Stay blessed, I love you!
