Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
John 20:29

The writer to the Hebrews tells us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

Paul wrote to the Corinthians that believers “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Peter also wrote of Christians’s faith with these words, “whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8).

God certainly has provided enough evidence, coupled with the testimony of the Holy Spirit to bring us to faith. May His name be praised forever!

But isn’t it interesting how believers actually love Christ whom we have not actually seen? This truly is a work of the Holy Spirit.

When scoffers say they only believe what they can see, they deceive themselves. I’m guessing they all believe in electricity, and in atoms—neither of which they have seen! Scoffers, who are among those Jesus came to save, will one day believe.

The best news is that all His people will one day, in glory, see Him. Until then, let us continue to grow in love and in faith in the One we have yet to see.
