Disbelieving God is a sin that leads to all manner of other sins. To not believe God and His truth is (in effect) to
tell God that you have a better plan, or that He is not worthy of your trust, or that He is a liar (even though He
knows all, sees all, governs all, and cannot lie). The path down the road of unbelief is scattered with broken
lives, homes, churches, and nations. To disbelieve the God of truth is to choose to believe a lie which only
leads to destruction, fear, discontentment, rebellion, and ultimately to hell.Even for true believers, there yet remains the temptation in your life not to trust Christ's wisdom, truth, love,
and power in very dark days. Your growth in Christ will only come as you die to unbelief and grow in trusting
the Lord Jesus. Each time you fall into a sin it is due in some way to having taken the eye of faith off of Christ
and His Word. If you would overcome the besetting sins in your life, you must grow in trusting Christ and in
applying His Word (both promises and commands) to your life. |
