“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”
—St. Augustine

Indeed, faith truly becomes sight when we believe in what we do not yet see.

The Power of Faith

St. Augustine’s quote echoes the essence of Christian belief. Faith is not blind; it is visionary. It allows us to see Heaven, hope, and salvation—before they are visible. Faith provides the lens through which the unseen becomes real. This vision is embodied in the words of the Apostle’s Creed, a foundational declaration of what we, as Christians, believe:

I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

When we affirm this creed, we are declaring with faith what our eyes have not seen. Yet, as faith manifests into sight, the reward of such faith is the spiritual clarity to perceive eternity, grace, and the presence of God in our daily lives. As Proverbs 23:7 reminds us, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” What we believe deeply shapes who we are becoming.

This morning, let your faith define your day. Envision Heaven. Speak belief. Let your thoughts be shaped by eternal promises.

Let Us Pray – Faith Becomes Sight

Lord, help us to see through the eyes of faith, where belief turns into sight. Let what we believe draw us closer to what You have promised. Amen.
