2 Corinthians 5:7 ESV
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
**
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
**
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
**
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
