By The Word - Hebrews 11:1-3

Hebrews 11:1-3 ESV 
​Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Things are seen and not seen. We place our hope in things not seen, which are more real than the the things that are seen. Our eyes are not opened until we begin to see without our eyes. We often refer to this as faith. 

God has made us sons and daughters that are able call Him Father. The witness of this is within. We have yet to be revealed in creation, but we are assured of this fact as we house this new creation in these jars of clay. The earth groans in anticipation. 

It is the word of God that created the universe and through that word we find rebirth. It is within the light of God we take form and the void is filled. A new earth is underway, not made out of things visible, but born from above.
