What does it mean to walk by faith and not by sight?
Answered in 6 sources
Walking by faith means relying on God’s promises rather than visible circumstances, as illustrated by Ruth’s commitment to follow Naomi.
The sermon emphasizes that walking by faith entails a profound trust in God's character and promises, even when circumstances are uncertain. Ruth's decision to follow Naomi, with the understanding that it required a willingness to abandon everything familiar, embodies this principle of faith. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as 'the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.' This understanding encourages believers to focus on the invisible realities of God’s Kingdom and His faithfulness rather than the temporary trials of this world. Ruth's story reassures Christians that true faith involves stepping into the unknown, assured of God's presence and provision along the journey.
