Living by faith – Thomas Brooks

“We live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Living by faith brings the soul to sit down satisfied in the naked enjoyments of God.

Living by faith dries up the springs of . . .
pride,
self-love,
impatience,
murmuring,
unbelief, and
the carnal delights of this world.

Living by faith presents to the soul greater, sweeter, and better things in Christ than anything this world can afford.

Living by faith lessens the soul’s esteem of all outward vanities.
