Exploring Spiritual Beliefs: Navigating Doubts and Trust in Divinity

Are you finding it increasingly difficult to believe in a divine power? You are by no means alone in this sentiment. In today's scientific and analytical world, many of us require more than just traditional religious beliefs and dogmas. Embrace your rational mind and recognize that questioning is a natural and commendable process.

Questioning Religious Heresay

Many share the opinion that traditional religious deities such as the Abrahamic, Christian, or Islamic God may not exist. Miracles of healing and telekinesis have often been the primary factors that convince the majority. However, with the rarity of reported miracles in recent times, especially those related to modern challenges like the curing of COVID-19, many people increasingly question their existence.

Research into near-death experiences suggests a non-living, higher power operating beyond human comprehension. This "Light of God" or "Infinite Light" judges us after death. Based on our actions, we experience kindness or cruelty. This higher power ensures accountability, a universal law governing the rewarding and punishing of our deeds.

Embracing Reality and Spiritual Life

If you are seeking to find your own path, opt for truth and reality. Calling upon the Spirit of God could provide guidance. The Bible, specifically Psalms 14:1-2, urges seekers to trust in a higher power. This could involve delving into religious texts, attending soul-building sermons, and engaging with a true pastor to deepen your understanding.

Faith and the Role of Christ

Salvation through Christ Jesus initiates a relationship with God, overcoming doubts rooted in the absence of this relationship. Understanding the reality of Christ's sacrifice, burial, and resurrection can facilitate gaining faith in Him. At this moment, believers are indwelled by the Holy Spirit and their natural sin nature is crucified, replaced by a new spiritual nature.

Expanding on this, early believers often forget that their salvation came solely through God's grace, not their own efforts. This can lead to a misconception that personal achievements or good works emanate from the believer, rather than Christ. It is important to recognize that Christ is the point of origin for any righteous actions, not the believer.

Understanding Faith and Doubt

Perfect faith does not exist, as faith and doubt are interdependent. Embrace your doubts and trust in the Word and sovereignty of God through His Spirit. Realize that you are already acceptable and holy in God's eyes, and that your sins have been forgiven. Rather than focusing on personal failings, allow Christ to work through you to do God's will.

In summary, navigating doubts about the divine is a natural part of spiritual growth. Through a deeper exploration of texts, engagement with faith communities, and understanding the work of Christ, one can find a path to faith that recognizes the balance between doubt and trust.
