A Life Guided by the Unseen
Commentators explain that to "walk" refers to the entire conduct of one's life. This verse teaches that a Christian's life is guided by faith in unseen realities—God's presence, Christ's authority, and the promise of heaven. This stands in contrast to a life guided only by what is physically seen, such as worldly wealth or success. We are to act as if the spiritual world is more real and influential than the material one.
