The Joy of Believing

Thomas said he would only believe if he saw the Lord's wounds and touched them himself. This was an unbelieiving response to the resurrection. Many people today also make a provisional confession of belief, ""I will believe only if." This is not saving faith. Saving faith is not subject to circumstances. Saving faith proclaims, "My Lord and My God." If this is not true for you, then something else is vying for your obedience and your worship. Jesus codesecnds to meet broken and hurting people who have suffered spiritual abuse. But in the end, all must confess "My Lord and my God" of Jesus, if they are to heal and know joy inexpressible and full of glory.
