Dangers of Unbelief

The Dangers or Consequences of Unbelief

Hebrews 3: 12-13 “ Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God………”

Dear Beloved,

This week I want to encourage you to avoid the dangers and consequences of unbelief.

Throughout the Bible we see what happened to those who believed and those who did not believe. I think unbelief is the biggest sin we can committee because it makes God look like a liar to us. Please Read with me.

Hebrews 3: 18-19
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Those verses are a warning to us to learn from the example of the children of Israel. If we fail to learn, we certainly will be over thrown like them. And descend into the same or worst dangers of unbelief and reap all the consequences of unbelief that can turn our lives into along and continued drought or wilderness.

I want you to consider what happened to the unbelieving generations whom God turned back into the wilderness and his hand turned to fight them instead of blessing them.

And from there all they knew was distress and leanness of their souls. They could not continue believing to see the glory of God but were only focused on their needs and problems.

What happened to them then is exactly what happens today to all unbelieving children of God, who are always consumed with their own needs.  With no sense of God’s Presence in their lives, faithless prayers, not concerned about others like friends and the lost world. The entire focus of their lives is only their problem, their trouble etc

They go from one crisis to another, living in pain and suffering and all their days are filled with confusion, Strive, Envy and divisions.

In Hebrews 11: 6 it says that without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

For example When God divided the red Sea for the children of Israel to cross, they danced and rejoiced for only three days and then returned into their old life of unbelief, grumbling, Complaining and murmuring because of their next need, quickly forgetting what the Lord had just done for them.

I want to believe that Moses, Joshua and Caleb among others who believed and trusted God with all their Hearts all the way were deeply concerned as they saw their brethren being overthrown one by one in the desert because of their unbelief.

They saw all what God promised coming to pass and even the hand of God stretched against the whole generation who did not believe until they were all consumed and they all missed the rest God had promised them.

Please read (1Corinthians 10:1-6) and I pray that you avoid those dangers too as many Christians of our times are caught up in great unbelief, staggering around, even you can hear it from their talks and prayers.

They will not take any risk for the kingdom of God, neither committed to maturing or growing up and their hearts are getting hardened through unbelief as they are moving around looking for temporally relief. Please avoid that life, develop and build your faith strong.
