not seen, not seeing, but glad

1 Peter 1:8-9

1 Peter 1:8 Though you have not seen him, you care about him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you are glad with inexpressible and glorious joy,
1 Peter 1:9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

not seen, not seeing, but glad

Peter’s description of believers defies logic. We are a people today who have never seen Jesus, are not seeing him now, but we are still glad. Our joy comes from believing him, and trusting that the goal of our salvation will come with him when he returns.
