John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw
FAITH MAKES ETERNAL THINGS BECOME AS REAL AS PRESENT THINGS TO THE BELIEVER.
When we really have faith we believe the promises of God. We believe what the Bible says about eternal life and about Heaven. If we really believe we will begin to live as if the promises have already come to pass.
Faith makes Heaven so real that we can imagine not only the beauty of the gates of pearl and the streets of Gold but of a place where there is no more sickness, pain, death or sin of any sort.
Faith makes it easier to handle the death of a loved one because in our faith is the assurance that we will see them again. Faith and fear do not mix well. When we truly have faith we know that we have nothing to fear from this world because Jesus has overcome the world. Too often we become nearsighted and can only see the now, and see the things that are right before us. Faith helps us to see eternal things and those things that are yet to come.
