The Astonishment of Unbelief

Reformed Presbytery in North America

The world is looking for someone-something to believe in. Sadly, what the world believes in is that-which changes, that which is temporary, that which passes away -whether we believe in ourselves, our-children, our bank account, the economy-. What we truly need to believe in is someone that is almighty, that-loves with a perfect love, that does not change, that is eternal, that takes away the fear of death and gives a-certain hope in this world and forevermore. He who we need to believe in with all our heart is the God that-created us and has sent His Son -Jesus Christ- to save sinners chosen and loved from all eternity. There is-within us a restlessness to find that someone in which to believe that is ever faithful, loving, just, true, and-almighty, and is able to change our life for good both now and for all eternity. That restlessness to find such a-One in whom to believe only ceases when we find our rest in Jesus Christ.-To disbelieve and not receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is at its very core a refusal to receive the-love of God in Christ and a refusal to submit to the authority of Christ and His Word. And this refusal will-continue even in the face of the most powerful evidence to believe in Christ until He graciously-miraculously-opens our spiritual eyes to see and gives us faith to embrace Him and His truth.
