God’s Word Is True – An Example From My Life

Today, I was doing some research for an article on Mark 11. This is where Jesus curses the fig tree, and then gives one of the most important lessons on how to release your faith. Both His actions and explanation are so simple a child can understand it. The entrance of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple. (Psalm 119:130) So it was quite surprising to stumble across a scholarly paper that harshly rebuked Believers for taking Jesus’ Words literally. After a whole thesaurus of 300 point words, the crux of the argument came down to Believers have it wrong. We are not supposed to have the God kind of faith, nor speak to the obstacles in our life. The religious among us are shocked by such boldness. “Who do you think you are?” They will ask. And quite calmly Believers respond, “New Creatures in Christ, made alive and complete in HIM, children of God and led by the spirt, with a command to imitate our Heavenly Father.”
