  • 2 Cor 4:18 : 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
  • Rom 8:24-25 : 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already see? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.
  • 1 Cor 13:12 : 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
  • Heb 11:1-9 : 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the ancients were commended. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God testifying about his gifts; and through faith, even though he is dead, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death, and he was not found, because God took him up. For before he was taken up, he was commended as one who had pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverent fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went out to a place he was to receive as an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was waiting for the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. 12 And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. 13 All these people died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar and been persuaded of them, and having embraced them, they openly declared that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his only son, 18 even though it was said to him, 'Through Isaac your descendants will be named.' 19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death as a symbol. 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, nearing the end of his life, spoke of the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions concerning his bones. 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden by his parents for three months, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's order. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded the reproach for the sake of Christ as greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking forward to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king, for he persevered as though seeing the one who is invisible.
  • Heb 10:38 : 38 But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, My soul will have no pleasure in him.

  • Gal 2:20 : 20 I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
