Do Christians Have Doubt?

Whether you consider yourself a Christian or not, all people have times when they doubt their belief or faith (Read my previous Post). Do I doubt? Yes, sometimes, because I know that as a Human, I do not yet have the “Perfect” faith. As a Man, I consider my doubt as a good thing when it happens because, it just shows me how much I need to depend more on God’s Truth and Not my individual and sinful false self and thinking. The more I doubt God, the more I eventually realize that I need God. This is one function of The Holy Spirit. He reminds me daily that as God said, “My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are My ways Higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.) ( Read, Isaiah 55:8-8.) Any follower of Jesus will sometimes think such doubts. But, Christ is teaching us to rise above them (He is not condemning us). By practicing, as the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:8, to “Think on Heavenly Things.” I believe that Paul meant that if we Honor God we will eventually experience not only how evil we are, but more importantly, how Great and Loving Our God and Creator is. Since, the fall of man, we naturally will be plagued by doubt. We were never supposed to know what God knows about good and evil. But, it happened. Now, we struggle daily in a battle with both ourselves and temptations from the evil powers against us. However, the final result, if you Trust in Christ, is that Salvation is assured even if our doubts continue to Sanctify us through our failings as humans. That proves that God is Faithful even when we fail. So, please do not let your doubts torture you! It is the Spirit of God drawing you to understand your human limitations and to help you draw closer to Him! Now, we can be Free knowing what we are and what He is! Just hang on! God will never fail you because He promised! The Father God is Bright and Wonderful and Awesome for Us who will rely on Him. God has No Doubts! God has confidence in YOU! All people throughout history who have had Faith in God have had doubts. But, they return and obey even when they may not understand God’s ways. That, Like Abraham did, is what Faith is all about. The world will never give you a True Faith. Only by accepting Jesus will you find it. P.S. Read “Oswald Chamber’s” book, “My Utmost for His Highest.” (Read page, December 16). May Blessings be with you in His NAME.
