God’s Answer To Honest Doubt John 20:24-31

Two Sources of Doubt  Head or Reason  Contrary to what is “reasonable”  Heart or Emotion  Based on feelings that may be in complete contrast to known facts  Example of spouse saying, “You don’t love me anymore!”

Head or Reason  Doubt when we can’t understand through “natural” processes  Many doubt miracles because they haven’t seen or experienced such  Nathaniel – John 1:43-46a  Thomas – John 20:24,25  Had seen Jesus die & buried

Heart or Emotion  John the baptist – Matt. 11:2, 3  Note what he said in John 1:29-34  That was based on evidence (reason)  His doubt now expressed during emotional depression

Answer to Doubt  Same in all cases  To Nathaniel – John 1:46-49  “Come and see”  To Thomas – John 20:27-29  To John – Matthew 11:4-6

What About You?  Do you doubt:  Jesus being Son of God?  His church existing today?  People being “Christians” only?  Possibility of unity of all believers? COME and SEE!

What Must I Do To Be Saved?  Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17)  Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37)  Repent of your sins (Luke 13:3)  Confess faith in Jesus (Mt. 10:32)  Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38)  Be faithful unto death (Rev. 2:10)
