We need faith to be confident. Hebrew 11:1 How to be confident. Three things that destroy our confidence: 1. Doubt vs TRUST when we don't trust, we are sinning against God. 2. Guilt from sin vs 🌟CONFESSION. I need to confess the things I'm feeling guilty about so that I can connecting with God. 3. Lack of ability vs🌟HUMILITY it means you're putting yourself in a position to learn. Learning how to be humble and ask questions. It's not about working harder but learning how to work smarter. If we lose the heart to be a Learner, we loose the opportunity to connect. Galatians 5:6 Religious people try to prove how they are close to God and not on how they're working on the areas they need help in their lives to be closer to God and helping other draw closer to God. Many times when we are religious, we are unloving. When people really want to seek God, they seek love. When we don't have faith, it's hard to: Trust Forgive Be honest Selfless Grateful Responsive Apologize Humble Show respect We NEED FAITH TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD Hebrews 11:6 God wants to know two things: 🌟do you believe that I'm real? 🌟he wants us to have a real relationship with Him.  Spiritual growth happens when we have faith and take action.
