REMINDER FOR ME:
Faith is not something I have worked to develop or achieve; it is not an accomplishment or a medal. It has nothing to do with me. It is a spiritual gift.
It is in my sin, in my humanity, where doubt rises. Because of God's character I could never reasonably/logically doubt God, I can only be in doubt of my own heart.
Daniel Borchers wrote it like this :
"...recognizing that God’s character is the source of our assurance. The gift of faith never doubts His promise. We can doubt our hearts because we are imperfect and we can doubt our eyes because they only see the physical – and they see that imperfectly. But God’s character is perfect and His Word is sure. He can be trusted. Always!
The gift of faith knows this. The gift of faith is assured that God will never leave us or forsake us. The gift of faith testifies to us of God’s holy and righteous character."
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
