For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is
renewed day by day
2 Corinthians 4:16
The outward man is seen.
The inward man is that “hidden man.”
Paul is saying the inward man is unseen and
eternal.
Our earthly house (body) is decaying. When it
dies, is put into the grave, is dissolved, and
goes back to dust—that is not the end!
The inward man is eternal!
The hidden man of the heart is eternal.
The hidden man is a spirit man—-and he is
eternal.
You are a spirit —- and you are eternal!
Confession: I am an eternal spirit being. I look
not to the things which are seen. I look at the                                                                                                                                                                                          things which are not seen. For the things which
are seen are temporal, but the things which are
not seen are eternal.

BY FAITH WE UNDERSTAND: 1 Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
FAITH AT THE DAWN OF HISTORY:
:6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.
:7 By FAITH Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet
seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving
of his household, by which he condemned the world and be
came heir of the righteousness which is according to FAITH.

with sons;
