That is, our condition here in this world is such, that we cannot see God face to face, but by faith only; whilst we are in the body, we do not see and enjoy, but believe and expect. Faith is the thing in expectation: sight is the thing in fruition; faith is. cloudy discovery of things at. distance; sight is. clear view and apprehension of things that are present.

Learn, 1. That faith is for earth, and sight is for heaven.

2. That till we have sight, it is. great advantage that we have faith.

3. That if we now have faith, we may be well assured that ere long we shall have sight.
