I have never been to the North Pole, and yet I believe there is a North Pole. How do I know? I know because somebody told me. I read about it in a history book, I saw a map in a geography book, and I believe the men who wrote those books. I accept it by faith. The Bible says, "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" [Romans 10:17 KJV].

Paul wrote, "Therefore we do not lose heart. . . . For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:16, 18). Knowing we will be with Christ forever far outweighs our burdens today! Keep your eyes on eternity!

Nowhere do the Scriptures tell us to seek results, nor do the Scriptures rebuke evangelists if the results are meager.

Every graveyard and every cemetery testify that the Bible is true.

Most of us do not understand nuclear fission, but we accept it... Why is it so easy to accept manmade miracles and so difficult to accept the miracles of the Bible?

The bible gives me a deep comforting sense that (things seen are temporal, and things unseen are eternal.

Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe.

Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.

Understanding is the reward of faith.

But why is Faith believed to be a goddess, and why does she herself receive temple and altar? For whoever prudently acknowledges her makes his own self an abode for her.

The education of the human race, represented by the people of God, has advanced, like that of an individual, through certain epochs, or, as it were, ages, so that it might gradually rise from earthly to heavenly things, and from the visible to the invisible.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
