1 Peter 1:8

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

• Faith
• Joy
• Christ
• Belief
• Salvation

Christian faith is not a way to view the world or improve one's status as a human being. Essentially, it is a matter of trusting and loving a person. There is no way to express the joy that comes with saving faith in Christ. Our choice to rejoice, even during the midst of our trials, is an act of faith. The act does not require soaring emotions, but it can certainly contribute to them. We experience joy as we grow in confidence in the Christ we love.
We are reminded by Peter that as we walk through this Christ-rejecting, sinful world, our miracle of new birth guarantees that we are also being kept by the power of God. In heaven, we are being kept for a glory that has been set before us. Peter, however, emphasizes that all Christians are being prepared for glory through their sufferings.
As Christians, we do not love Christ based on what we observe with our physical eyes. The love we have for Christ is rooted in everything we know about Him in our hearts by faith and with thanksgiving. For all that He has suffered on the Cross for us, for the life He has given us through His Resurrection, and for the glory He is preparing for us in heaven, we love Him.
