November 6 The Ultimate Reality Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of the things which are visible. Hope is not wishful thinking. Hope is the present assurance of some future good: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Biblical faith is not a preference for what we would like to see, but a conviction that what is unseen is real. Biblical faith enables us to see the reality of the spiritual world we presently live in, with the assurance of heaven. Only with that kind of faith can we say with Paul, For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us (Romans 8:18). According to Scripture, the invisible world is more real than the visible world (Hebrews 11:3). The ultimate reality is spiritual, not physical. God is a spirit. Every physical thing we see is only temporal and passing away (2 Corinthians 4:18).
