Unbelief

I found the quote below on one of our student’s facebook page. Hebrews 12:1 - 2 talks how as followers of Christ we need to throw off everything that hinders our walk with the Lord. When we fail to throw off the barrier that separate us from Christ, we find we are left heavy and burdened and unable to really experience the Life that God planned; a life of freedom, love, and grace. In scripture a man prayed, "Lord I believe, but help me over come my unbelief." I have always been struck by the vulnerability and honesty in this request to Christ. God knows our hearts already, we can not hide. Therefore, we must come to Him honestly and confess to Him the true matters of our hearts. I pray that this quote is an encouragement to you too today.

"Your greatest sin is not the abortion that you've asked forgiveness for, or the adultery, or whatever it is that you did in your life in the past that you're ashamed of that keeps hounding you, your greatest sin is not that! Your greatest sin is not believing God's word when God says you're forgiven! Your greatest sin is unbelief! You wanna repent of something, friend? Stop repenting of sins that you've already repented of, and repent of your unbelief." - Preacher in "Voices" by House of Heroes
