We are walking by faith, not by sight.—2 Cor. 5:7.

 

At one point, the apostle Paul knew that he would soon be put to death, but he had every reason to feel satisfied with his life. Looking back, he could say: “I have run the race to the finish, I have observed the faith.” (2 Tim. 4:6-8) Paul had made wise decisions in his Christian ministry, and he felt sure that Jehovah was happy with him. We too want to make good decisions and have God’s approval. How can we do so? Paul said about himself and other faithful Christians: “We are walking by faith, not by sight.” In the Bible, “walking” sometimes refers to the way a person chooses to live his life. When a person walks by faith, he makes decisions based on his trust in Jehovah God. His actions show that he is convinced that God will reward him, that he will benefit from following Jehovah’s advice found in His Word.—Ps. 119:66; Heb. 11:6. w25.03 20 ¶1-2
