The Journey of Faith Part 2 - Unbelief - 3.2.25

Joshua Boyd

We are on a journey of faith – both in our Christian walk and in our current series.  The start of our journey must be salvation.  We believed the word to be born again.  We had to pray and ask Jesus to come and save us.  We had to call on Him.  That was the first act of obedience by faith and it sealed the deal for our salvation. 

The rest of our journey works the same way: we hear, believe, then act.  Our first act of obedience is calling on the name of the Lord in response to hearing the good news of what happens when we do.  In this part two of our series, let’s focus on what can hinder our journey: unbelief.  How can a born-again Christian experience unbelief?  Let’s find out.

Israel was “saved”.  Their coming out of Egypt is a type of us coming out of the world into God’s Kingdom – salvation.  They saw with their own eyes the repeated miracles of God, yet they struggled over and over with believing God and obeying Him. It got to the point that their hearts became hard toward God.

Our journey of faith begins with believing the good news of salvation.  Step after step in our journey is only progressed by believing the Word and acting on it by faith, keeping your conscience clear, and your obedience on the ready. That takes work.  It is labor, it is a fight—the good fight. And it is a constant improvement or growth of your faith.  We go from faith to faith, glory to glory.
