As you know, our faith is not JUST what we mentally or verbally assent to, but what we also prove we believe by our everyday actions.  Only God knows what we do/don’t do when no one is watching, but you can pretty much see the fruit that hangs on a tree.  Izzy   Terry wrote: So you are saying that believing what you cannot see is the same as evidence that we cannot see?   Terry, I would say that when you listen to the Holy Spirit within you, and believe the hope He gives you, and are convinced of Jesus being Truth, you are walking in faith.  Izzy   Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. What happened to evidence?   NASB calls it “conviction”.  Jesus IS our evidence.  Izzy
