Since we have the Spirit, we are of good courage, and we aim to please God! 1. We are of good cheer because we live by faith, not by sight. (v.6-7) 2. Our attitude is good in this life, even though we prefer to be at home with the Lord. (v.8) 3. We remain encouraged because we live in order to please the Lord. (v.9-10) Since our aim is to please God, what must we do? How can we focus on what is not visible? Heb. 11:1, John 14:1-2 In what way is our knowledge incomplete until later? 1 Cor. 13:12 Why must we hope for what we cannot see? Rom. 8:24-25
