How Precise Must Our Beliefs Be to Have True Faith?

From the Show

How precise do our beliefs have to be for a person to have true faith?

Think of the disciples; three years of walking with Jesus and they still didn’t get it until Pentecost. And Jesus still loved them. Jesus still brought them along. They didn’t get the cross, they didn’t get the resurrection, three times Peter tried to get Jesus to stop talking about his imminent crucifixion. They just didn’t get it and then they did at Pentecost. And that’s the way it is with us, is our growth in godly character perfect in this life? Of course not. Then why do we imagine that our theology will be perfect in this life either? But sanctification, that is, the process of growth in knowledge and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that is a lifelong calling. — Michael Horton

Assurance in the Shadow of Doubt

Assurance in the Shadow of Doubt

The coexistence of assurance and doubt is not a contradiction, but a reflection of the Christian life lived between justification and glorification. True assurance rests not in the strength of one’s faith, but in the object of that faith—Jesus Christ—and the presence of doubt, while unsettling, does not nullify genuine belief.

Our Victory Is Between the Flags of Sound Doctrine

Our Victory Is Between the Flags of Sound Doctrine

Following sound doctrine requires our eyes to remain fixed on Jesus. It also requires that our faith rests in him. Faith opens the door to God’s plan and allows us to accomplish his will for our lives. It does so chiefly because it fosters a heart that yields to the counsel and leading of God. In this way, we remain on the road of truth.

Walking by Faith Isn't Wishful Thinking

Walking by Faith Isn’t Wishful Thinking

We are not merely hoping for the best outcome, we are assured of the greatest outcome—the coming of God’s Kingdom. Our faith doesn’t work like a magic eight ball, trying to tell us every detail of our lives, but our faith is knowledgeable.

Why Did Jesus Say “Don’t Cling to Me?”

Jesus’s words were a puzzle to me for a long time. Why would he push Mary away in her moment of joyful recognition? According to his own words, it seems he has some unfinished business: “I have not yet ascended to the Father” is how Jesus tells Mary—and us—that his ascension is absolutely necessary for his redeeming purposes to be brought to completion.
