Until Faith Becomes Sight

What does it mean to truly live by faith when everything around us screams for tangible proof? This profound exploration of Hebrews 11:3-7 takes us on a journey through creation itself and the lives of three remarkable figures—Abel, Enoch, and Noah—to show us that faith isn't about manufacturing confidence or speaking good vibes into existence. Instead, faith is a God-given certainty that reshapes how we see reality itself. We discover that faith begins not with our eyes but with God's Word, grounding us in truths we cannot physically touch but are more real than anything visible. The universe wasn't assembled from pre-existing materials; it was spoken into existence by God's powerful Word. This means the most important realities in our lives—God's presence, His promises, His authority—are often unseen yet absolutely true. Abel teaches us that how we approach God matters deeply, that outward religion without inward faith is empty. Enoch shows us that faith is a daily walk with God, a long obedience in the same direction that pleases Him. And Noah demonstrates that faith obeys even when it looks foolish to everyone else, building an ark on dry ground because God said judgment was coming. These stories challenge us to ask: Are we building lives that make sense to the world, or lives that only make sense if God is real and eternity is true? The call is clear—we must live according to what God has said, even when our sight disagrees.
