Is a common motivational phrase emphasizing that belief should precede evidence, encouraging trust in, or action toward, an unseen outcome or divine promise. Based on concepts like Hebrews 11:1, it teaches that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, even when the situation is not visible in the natural world.
- Trusting the Unseen: This phrase suggests that just because a result is not currently visible, it does not mean it does not exist or is not working.
- Believing is Seeing: Instead of the common phrase “seeing is believing,” this perspective suggests that faith allows one to see the results of their belief first.
- Biblical Foundation: The concept is deeply rooted in 2 Corinthians 5:7, “We walk by faith and not by sight,” encouraging believers to trust in God’s promises even during difficult times.
- Active Hope: It is a call to take action and maintain hope, believing that God is working behind the scenes even if the results are not yet tangible.

As a believer in Christ, our entire life is a mystery wrapped up in the fabric of faith. We undergo a series of changes in life and sometimes everything may becomes foggy or vague as illustrated by this image above, yet we keep on going till we hit our target/goal.
As a believer in Christ; what is your goal?
As a believer in Christ, the central goal is to become more like Jesus, bringing glory to God through a life of obedience, Love, and service. This involves pursuing spiritual maturity, sanctification, and ultimately, abiding in Christ to live out His purpose, bearing fruit for His Kingdom until the final, eternal reward.
Key aspects of this goal include:
- Christ-likeness (Sanctification): Actively striving to reflect the character, Love, and righteousness of Jesus in daily life.
- Glorifying God: Ensuring all actions, thoughts, and words serve to exalt God and make Him known.
- Obedience and Service: Submitting to the teachings of the Bible and serving others, recognizing this as a, if not the, primary,, goal.
- Spiritual Maturity: Moving beyond initial faith to become mature, complete, and fully devoted followers.
- Loving God and Others: Fulfilling the greatest commandments by loving God with all one’s heart, soul, and mind, and loving others as oneself.
- Eternal Perspective: Pressing toward the ultimate, upward calling of being with Christ in Heaven, as described in Philippians 3:14.
Unconsciously, we’re exercising faith, believing in the invisible as the evidence of things yet to materialize. Amazing!
To activate faith is to see the invisible GOD working behind the scenes of our lives; as The Creator of all things, God can cause ALL, both good and allowing/permitting bad, to work everything together to accomplish His purposes; even in the least expected cases:
The truth? An intellectual or logical heart cannot trust God like a blind person; hence faith in God works better for a spiritual person who lays no emphasis on sight! No matter what, a faithful believer remains in the will of God, yearns for His Word, is ever faith-filled and chooses never to be disappointed trusting God in every situation!
This verse states that natural, unspiritual people cannot accept or understand the things of God’s Spirit because they are considered foolishness without spiritual discernment. This verse highlights that understanding divine truth requires the Holy Spirit, as the natural mind lacks the capacity to comprehend God’s wisdom.
Key Aspects of 1 Corinthians 2:14
- The “Natural” Person: Refers to someone who relies solely on human reason, intellect, or natural passions without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
- Foolishness: The truths of the Gospel, such as salvation through the cross, appear nonsensical or irrational to the unspiritual mind.
- Spiritually Discerned: Divine truths are only recognized and understood through the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
- Context: This verse follows Paul’s discussion on true wisdom, which comes from God rather than human eloquence, emphasizing that only those with the Spirit can know the mind of Christ.
God bless.🙏🔥
