Allowing non-believers to talk us out of faith

myDearBrother Staff posted on December 19, 2023 17:22

Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written,

"THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED." - Romans 3:1-4 NASU

Have you ever allowed an unbeliever to nullify your faith? You believe in God's promise, but someone who teaches the word of God told you not to get your hopes up because God doesn't do miracles anymore? Or you are believing to be healed of cancer, and someone tells you they thought that once and their mother died anyway. Does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

When a promise of God does not come to pass, it doesn't always mean a lack of faith or unbelief. But when someone proactively tells others not to believe, that is unbelief. Let that person be a liar, and God be faithful to His word!

No matter the promise of God, eternal life for a repentant sinner, the return of a prodigal son, the healing of a beloved friend, a new job opportunity, a church plant, and many other promises, there will always be the unbelief of a non-believer or someone who deconstructed into an unbeliever.

Who are you going to agree? If you agree with unbelief, you have what you have. If you believe in God's faithfulness, you will realize the promise sometime in the future if you don't faint. Jesus said that man is either justified by his words or condemned, every idle word of our heart and mouth will be judged. If we agree with Jesus, we will prevail with faith. If we disagree with the Word of God because of our or someone's experience, we will be left with unbelief.

Other's experience doesn't have to be our experience. Do not allow people's unbelief to cause you to let go of your faith in Christ Jesus. All the promises of God are yes and amen in Jesus.

Was this worth your time?

Scripture

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; - 1 Peter 3:15 KJV

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. - Matthew 10:26-28 KJV

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. - Hebrews 10:22-25 KJV

How do I get saved?

Jesus said if you want to follow me, you must lose your life. A higher standard than the typical ask Jesus into your heart confession. You have to start somewhere, so make the confession, but then do what Jesus said daily if you really believe in him. Jesus continued telling those who want to follow him that they must also take up their cross. Which means following Jesus will put you under the microscope of today's society. But that is part of the plan of losing your life so that you may live for him eternally. And why would you want to follow Jesus with all the trouble that goes with being his disciple? Because he is the only way through death to eternal life. He is not showing us the way. He is the way!

What is 'Walk with me'?

We are living in the Enoch generation. Enoch walked with God and was found no more because God took him. To walk with God means to hear, to reflect, and then to go out into all the world proclaiming Christ crucified. As a Bible teacher, I have several websites that help people walk with God. If you don't have a church home, walk with me until you do. Walk with me is my version of onboarding people into the Kingdom of God. Subscribe to the Walk with me Newsletter to begin.
