"Faith is the conviction of things not seen," Hebrews 1:1.

Not intending to get stupid here, but intending to sharpen thought. So. How do you know what you don't see? Faith. How do you know matter is made up of atoms? Faith. How do you know the cosmos comes from stuff you can't see? Faith. How do you know the American colonies rebelled against Britain? Faith. How do you know God is there? Faith. (Or, how do you know God is not there? Faith.) Don't say you read about these things in a book. Don't say you heard these things from somebody. You weren't there. You don't see those things. The trust you place in a book or in a person who told you these things, or in your ability to think/feel, convicts you.

We encourage a brother or sister today in full assurance of faith. And, together, we give thanks to the invisible God who rewards those seeking him.
