Anyone Can Do That
“Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” - John 11:40
We highlighted yesterday that there are people out there who will never take that first step of faith until they’ve witnessed what they need to see with their own eyes. They can’t trust without knowing that God’s the real deal. The question I asked you is, are you living in a way that shows God is Lord and Savior? Are you practicing what you are preaching? Do you live out your beliefs?
You might be saying, “I’ve read the Word, but I have trouble believing it because I haven’t seen it play out in my own life. I need to see it from someone else.”
If that is you, I want you to ask yourself, how can you have faith if you don’t trust? Hebrews 11:1 highlights, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” If you can see it, it’s not faith. It’s easy to believe in that in which we see. But that isn’t what God has called for us.
Yes, God uses the testimony of believers to impact the lives of those who have yet to believe. But that doesn’t mean you must wait around for someone else’s testimony persuade you to trust God. God wants you to believe in what you haven’t seen. John 11:40 says, “Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”
God has a special plan and purpose for your life. One that no one else can take the place of. But if you only believe in what you see, well, there is nothing special about that. Anyone and everyone can do that. If you want to live out God’s special plan, you must do what others won’t.
Believe in what you haven’t seen. That is true faith!
