Believing

Summary

The sermon explores the nature of true Christian belief, emphasizing that genuine faith is a work of God within the believer, not merely a human decision. It contrasts superficial belief based on signs and miracles with the deeper, Spirit-enabled faith that pleases God. The preacher highlights biblical examples, such as the centurion's faith and the skepticism of many who witnessed Jesus' miracles, to illustrate that true belief is empowered by God's mighty power. The message concludes that faith and suffering for Christ are gifts from God, and true belief is evidenced by a transformed heart rather than mere intellectual assent.
