Lucia continues her series on faith, with addressing the enemies of faith. Just as there are two kinds of faith, there are two kinds of unbelief. First, there’s the kind of unbelief that’s based on a lack of knowledge of God’s Word. And second, there’s unbelief because people can’t be persuaded to act on God’s Word although they know the Word.
So, unbelief is either ignorance to the Word of God, or being un-persuaded to act on the Word. The cure for ignorance is to gain knowledge and the cure for unbelief is obedience. Faith is acting on God’s Word. If we really believe God’s Word is true, we’ll be just as steady in the midst of trials, as we are when we’re walking in total victory.
Our faith should be like the faith of Abraham because we’re Abraham’s seed according to Galatians 3:7 which says, “So those who are the true children of Abraham will have the same faith as their father!” Our faith is simply based on what God says.
Lucia goes on to explain there are several enemies to our faith and explains the only fight we’re to fight is the fight of faith, according to 1 Timothy 6:12, which says “fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” Jesus has taken care of every battle we will ever face and has pronounced us the victor!
