The Beauty Essentials Show with Christa C. Williams

All of us experience doubt to one degree or another. Ever since Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the evil one has planted doubts in our heads as to the goodness and trustworthiness of God: “Did God really say…” (Genesis 3:1). Even those who directly saw the resurrected Christ doubted: “When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. (Matthew 28:17).

However, doubt is not unbelief. Doubt is a state of mind in suspension between faith and unbelief. Due to the ongoing presence and power of sin in the Christian life, which is a reality until the day we die or the Lord returns, none of us will have perfect, 100% trusting faith. Doubt will continue to be constant struggle. It is a part of our fallen nature that does not trust God with all our being. But having doubts does not mean we are not Christian. The opposite of faith is unbelief, not doubt.
