Doubt & Unbelief
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“Let's keep a firm
grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.
(Hebrews 10:23, THE
MESSAGE)
Opportunities abound in
this present age to doubt the Word of God, to let go of the written Word and
let unbelief take hold.
Popular opinions, so
backed up with the latest national polls, would tempt to steal away that which
has been rooted in our mind and spirit, long taught to be the truth. The
everlasting truth. Pushing hard against the bedrock of historical fact, the winds
of change and roaring waters beat constantly as they seek to destroy that which
has been held sacred.
No doubt, doubt and
unbelief scheme to take over what we know to be the truth.
What many now say is truth,
based on the contemporary news and the desires of the people, are put forth to
dismiss the facts revealed centuries ago. Just keep saying the same thing long
enough and enough people will believe it. Thus it must make it true. It must be
that the previous generations just had it wrong, and therefore we must
modernize our thinking and update our beliefs. How often have you heard that?
What a bunch of hog
wash. (I was raised in Iowa, where pigs like to get real dirty in the slime and
mud.)
When presented with the
notion that Jesus (Yeshua) was not raised from the dead, there is more than
enough proof, just from that historical period of time, to dismiss whatever is
thrown out as otherwise. Written words, eyewitnesses onsite, and changed lives
after His crucifixion stand as bedrock proof of what He said would happen, and
then did happen.
His resurrection from
the dead completely backs up His words spoken prior, “I am the resurrection and
the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who
lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have
believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the
world." (John 11:25-27, NASU)
What is the most
important foundational truth of believers, who have committed to receive and
bear witness of the truth in their own lives, remains that solid rock upon
which we stand. Jesus came, was born of a virgin, confirmed the words of the
prophets of old, lived a sinless life, was crucified, dead, buried and rose
again, to eternally bear witness to the gospel truth. Doubt and unbelief must
go when presented with the firm facts that the written words of Torah and the complete
Bible present. Nothing and no one will ever be able to deny for any length of
time this eternal fact.
When the times get
tough, and the onslaught of the evil one presses hard against us, as believers
we can always stand on His truth, fight the good fight of faith, and continue
to commit our lives to the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach. When
the temptation to waver in doubt and unbelief comes our way, it is by His grace
and mercy we shall stand strong and live to see our eternal reward in heaven.
The truth has set us free. The truth will bring us to the final destination.
This is not just a
seasonal word for us. This is the Eternal Word that completely solidifies our everlasting
life.
“In Him you also
trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in
whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who
is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of His glory.” (Ephesians 1:13-14, NKJV)
Faith and belief in
Jesus will always be the only way. Salvation is found in no other.
