Even the Faithful Struggle
May 4, 2025 • Aaron Smith
Some realities are unseen because they belong to the spiritual realm and some because they lie in the future, when that realm will break into the earthly sphere. In either case, the person of faith lives out a bold confidence in God’s greater realities.
It was by a life lived in this bold confidence, this firm assurance in what was not immediately observable, that the Old Testament saints “were commended” by God.
In other words, not only did they bear witness to God, he bore witness to them, affirming their lives of faith.
This principle of faith grasping the reality of the invisible may be seen in the believer’s confession that God created the world.
