Humans naturally perceive the visible world around us as the true reality, with the unseen being less worthy or even unreal in our eyes. This common perspective emphasizes tangible experiences and evidence, leading us to prioritize what we can observe and measure over what remains hidden or spiritual.

However, the Bible offers a different view, suggesting that the unseen world holds greater significance and truth. According to Philip Yancey, scripture encourages us to see beyond appearances and recognize the importance of faith and spiritual realities that are not immediately visible or tangible.
