What does it mean to walk by faith and not by sight?
Answered in 3 sources
Walking by faith means trusting in God's promises and His character, even when circumstances seem contrary (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Walking by faith rather than sight entails relying on God’s promises and His faithfulness, even when our current situations appear difficult or without hope. As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:7, we walk by faith, not by sight, which encourages Christians to trust in what is unseen—the eternal promises God has made, rather than the temporary difficulties we face. This faith is cultivated through the Word of God and is empowered by the Holy Spirit, allowing believers to endure trials, pursue holiness, and love others as Christ loves us. Walking by faith also means living according to the truths of God’s Word and His guidance, regardless of the prevailing circumstances (Hebrews 11:1).
