Taking God's Word Seriously (4)

What a difference there is between the kind of sophisticated unbelief, which leaves us with half a Bible and half a Saviour, and the attitude of faith that rejoices in a whole Bible and a whole Saviour! This is not a matter of splitting hairs between different interpretations. There is an eternity of difference between regarding Jesus as our great example and trusting Him as our Saviour. It is the difference between the believer who will spend eternity with Christ and the unbeliever who will spend eternity without Christ.

What is the essential difference between the believer and the unbeliever? - The difference is highlighted in Matthew 1:18-25, where we read of Joseph’s experience of God’s grace in the announcement of the Saviour’s birth. Here, we learn about our Saviour’s birth. Through Joseph’s experience, we also learn about the way of moving from unbelief to faith. In the next few posts, we will look at Joseph's experience of moving from unbelief to faith.
