We Walk By Faith Not By Sight

The phrase "We walk by faith, not by sight" is a well-known Christian expression derived from 2 Corinthians 5:7 in the New Testament of the Bible. It emphasizes the importance of spiritual faith over physical evidence or worldly understanding. In Hebrew, this phrase can be translated as "אנו הולכים באמונה ולא במראה" (anu holechim be'emuna velo bemareh). The phrase is often interpreted to mean that believers should trust in God's promises and guidance, even when circumstances seem uncertain or contrary. This concept is central to many Christian teachings, encouraging followers to prioritize their spiritual journey and trust in divine providence over tangible, immediate evidence. The phrase has been widely used in sermons, hymns, and Christian literature to inspire and reinforce faith in the face of doubt or adversity. In other languages, the phrase translates to "Nous marchons par la foi, non par la vue" in French, "Wir wandeln im Glauben, nicht im Schauen" in German, and "Caminamos por fe, no por vista" in Spanish.
