What 2 Corinthians 5:7 means

For we walk by faith, not by sight. The Christian life is lived on the basis of what God has said, not only what our eyes can currently confirm. Faith does not mean ignoring reality; it means trusting a fuller reality than the one visible at the moment, the reality that God is present and at work.

6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
