faith now.

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 21:25

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

I guess that is why we've been called to live by faith and not by sight. Have i seen Jesus in real person? Nope but i know i've encountered Him and i believe that He's seated at the right hand of God right now. Why do i believe? Because i've read it in the Word of God:

"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But i say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." Matt 26:64

So thats the truth right there, in the Word of God. I'm really glad that the Lord has placed so much emphasis on the Word in my heart and made my faith based on it. I guess the verse: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"Rom 10:17(KJV) really applies.

So just like the wise man who built his house on solid rock, we should build our hopes on the solid Word of God with stones of faith.
