Things Not Seen - Hebrews 11:1

2 Corinthians 4:18 ESV 


as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.


Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.


How can we look look at something unseen? In which direction should we turn our heads so the unseen might come into view?


How can we say that what seems real is not, but what we cannot see is real and eternal?


How can we perceive a thing in the abstract and then attach the substance of a reality that is more real than the things we are able to experience through our senses?



Spirit to spirit. Spirit words. Only in the presence of the unseen Holy Spirit of God can the reality of the other be known. Only in His presence can the unseen be seen. Otherwise, it will only appear as foolishness. 


He has given His Spirit for the assurance and conviction of this otherwise incredible assertion. We know because we know.
