Believe & Cast not away your confidence

Brooklyn Museum - The Accursed Fig Tree (Le figuier maudit) - James Tissot

Isaiah 7:9 … If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

 

Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

 

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

 

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

 

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

How Can You Believe?

About  Minute 10:15 in this prior posted video linked below, the interviewer asks these questions.

I’m curious why all these scholars agree with the minimum facts, what is it that stops them from committing their life to the truth?  Actual evidence is not enough?

Gary Habermas gives the best answer he has to that question.

Repost: Gary Habermas: The Minimal Facts Approach to the Resurrection

If you have watched The Chosen, this question stream is touched on in the portrayal of Nicodemus: in his discussions with his wife, in his relationship with peers, students, and others, there is the portrayal of Nicodemus and his growing awareness.

And so as not to spoil it, I won’t say anything else, other than, watch The Chosen.
