The Irresolute Declaration of Faith

Regardless of our efforts to stay at peace, we often come across with various situations that are unpleasant or even significantly painful. Now, shall we say in response to all of this trouble, pain and doubts – that, “if God is for us, who can be against us”. Sadly, most of us tend to forget God and His promises when difficult situations arise. In other words, we trust the ways of this world, and then call it wisdom. I guess, these words aren’t unfamiliar to Christians: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submits to him, and he will make your paths straight.” This particular promise in the bible is so good to be true; to the point people get more involved and worried for no reason, and they’re unable to trust God fully, while their mind wobbles with numerous earthly choices.

It is imperative to have strong faith in God. And to be reminded that having true faith is not nodding the head when being asked; instead, it’s the rebirth of a new being that trust God unconditionally. The word of God says in Romans 8:31-37, NIV-Bible; “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one, Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, He was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Therefore, clear the minds and declare strong faith in God – the true faith that can move the mountains as we trust in Him undoubtedly. And then we call upon Him as he will surely answer – to convince and to be convinced – as it is written in Romans 8:38-39, NIV-Bible; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Amen
