WE WALK BY FAITH

Text: 2 Corinthians 5
12 July 2026

HOW STRONG IS OUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD?

The Apostle Paul was very strong and confident in his faith in God. He could literally and sincerely say “We walk by faith.”

1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 

3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 

4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life

5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord

7 For we walk by faith, not by sight

8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.     2 Corinthians 5:1-8
