Our understanding of God’s goodness and what it means to have Christ in us will determine our lives. Walking in faith will be impossible if either understanding is wrong. And without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
Faith is a sign we truly know God. The more we understand His goodness, the more we walk in faith. The more we know Him, the more we trust Him. We don’t have to work up faith when we trust Him. We know He is good. His love is the basis of our lives.
The faith you exercise and the purpose you pursue will never surpass your understanding of God’s love and His presence in your life. You will never know what is possible if God remains mysterious and beyond understanding.
Your life is limited to your perception of God. You will only pursue what you believe God wants for you. If you aren't certain He wants to heal, deliver, and bless you, you won’t have faith to receive the good things He has for you. Many Christians struggle with receiving from God because they aren’t sure He is that good.
“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things” (Romans 8:32)?
If you will continually meditate on Romans 8:32, it will change your mind and heart.
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked Bartimaeus (Mark 10:51). He still asks you the same question. Can you respond with certain assurance, knowing that He is that good and He has chosen to live in you?
When your faith is alive, it expresses unconditional confidence in Jesus, who loves you, died for you, and now lives in you. Faith will remain a struggle until you know God is for you (Romans 8:31).
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).
Let the Holy Spirit persuade you God is that good.
