Ultimately we have to reason through everything that we’re told. The bible does make sense, and so does the Holy Spirit. It’s the premises, not the methods of reasoning, that differ between the Spirit and the world. We don’t want to believe that God will love us and will continue to try to infuse us with His spirit, even when we’re so doggone busy bucking Him. Once we’ve thoroughly believed that He will, then everything revolutionizes.
Yes, it all comes back to having faith in what he tells us through His word.
Do we have much faith, or a little faith.
Our blessings heavily depend upon the amount of faith in Him we have.
