Reality in Christ

What we perceive as reality in our own lives is really only a shadow of eternity (2 Chronicles 29:15; Psalm 144:4; Colossians 2:17; James 4:14; 1 John 2:17). What we can see is never the full picture, it is only a distorted representation. Faith looks to the eternal, to that which we cannot see (Matthew 6:19-21; Romans 1:20; 2 Corinthians 4:8, 5:7; Hebrews 11:1). And truth looks to the Author of eternity (Jude 1:25; Revelation 22:13). So, our true reality can only come from the Creator himself (Colossians 1:16, 2:17; 1 John 5:20). So let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is the Way, Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). And he has already claimed the victory! (1 Corinthians 15:57).
