According to the following scripture it says..
2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV New King James Version For we walk by faith, not by sight.
For those that don't know the Lord how is one to walk by faith if they don't know why they should have faith in him to begin with?
Are we to assume that those that don't know the Lord has a Christian friend that will know the answer to this question?
If you are a Christian and know the Lord how would you answer this question if it were asked of you?
Is there ever a time you didn't believe by faith but walked by sight?

Everyone or most everyone has Faith. . When we did not believe in God we still had Faith. . But faith can be anything or something one places their trust in. . Those who may not believe in God for example may have Faith in their friends. . maybe they place faith in their work environments as they might have favor in their field. . It also takes faith just to even walk outside not knowing whether or not we will return back home. . This is important to know. Cause then no one can say to God that they did not have faith to begin with. But when one becomes a believer in Christ our faith changes over to having faith in one God. This changes how we approach faith for example 2 Corinthian 5:7 . 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
We now follow a God who we visibly and audibly can not hear or even any of our other senses to rely on. Now of course it may become a challenge to our friends why we follow God whom we are not able to see. What sense does it make to them? How do we show once we walked by sight and now we live after the one being we do not see? As I said in the beginning each of us already has Faith. So to instill Faith into a person is not the problem. . it is rather to have them want to have Faith in God.
Well God is real and that is the good news. If a person really wants to know God the Holy Spirit can speak to our Heart if we shall ask for God and to know him. . But God truly knows our hearts and our desire. If one shall sincerely ask God will make himself known to that person. But there are some who want to prove God by self experiments. . Unfortunately God does not fall for this kind of way to believe or not believe. God after all is a God of reason. Ask God to knock over the light pole or to make the plate fall off the table God will not do such a thing. . What would God benefit doing such things? He is not a magician entertainer. God uses his all powerful being to do only the things that are holy, true and righteous. So if you're not sure if God exists ask God do you exist God. Can you please help me to know you are real? This is something God will want to hear. But honestly to say the evidence of God is all around us really. It is called Creation. Please take a look a the constellation of the stars. The star main constellation pattern forms. . astronomers don't argue about these picture designs. In fact they have assigned Greek names and or translated in ones own language. . this has nothing to do with astrology. These designs are God’s finger prints in the sky. It is why David says in Pslam 8:3. 3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
The work of God's fingers is all around us every day. The Bible says man has built house but God has made all things. And it is still proven only by the earth a house is able to stand in place. A house can not stand without using the Earth as a foundation. Man will not eat unless the seed is planted from the Earth and the water rains upon the soil. Then the Sun will shine upon those crops of food. . How can we say this is Man's doing? God has made man dependent on Earth resources that we give thanks to God who created both Heavens and Earth. But even in ancient times many people still did not want to acknowledge God and believed only what they had owned. . The best way I think to share your friend how you used to believe by sight is what God does in your life today. Tell yo friend when I was not a believer I had to earn everything I worked for. . when God was in my life I was blessed in many ways than I was when I didn't believe. . God provided even more than I had asked. . He gives with a cup that runs over more than enough. He is more than sufficient. . Tell then how God has changed your Heart and your way of thinking. Tell them how you used to be a selfish person taking loans and not paying most people back. Tell them how you paid back these loans from your friends. Show them now how you are happy and to have a part in God’s plan. Tell this person when you could see I thought I had direction and life made. Tell them looking back I had nothing much at all cause I just wanted to own stuff and did not want to share anything.
Sight made me a blind person. Because I followed what I did see. So you say well my wife was in the hospital . I said God I never listened to you. I don't want her to die. What can I do? Can you keep her alive? . . and then I never knew my wife came back to life better than ever. You know I was just amazed what God is able to do and I had someone in my Life. . it took almost losing this person to ask God who is a life giver. For with my things I had the desire to keep it all. As for my wife that was different. Its one thing if I were to lose her I would never be the same person. . This is not a testimony but rather these are the kinds of circumstances that happen one can share with a friend why they once relied on sight and how they now have Faith in God.. 1. creation. 2 personal experiences. 3 Share a few simple verses of inspiration. Let those words impact those around you. Remember once we did not believe ourselves. Once we were full of great doubt. . God had used someone most likely to reach us in a powerful way. Let us continue this having Faith in God and letting go of having Faith in sight of this world We earn money but money does not love us. God does love us and offers more than money can buy. God is real the evidence is all around us. Let us Have Faith in God . He waits for us to call upon Him. God is spirit who speaks to our Hearts. His message will impact us to our very inner self. That even on our outside His way is know working in us. When you become from a non believer to a believer your life is transformed forever in a way you will never want to turn back. Especially to them who want to receive all the promises God has for those who were faithful. God is good on His Word. There is many great things ahead of us.
