The Bible teaches that doubt is a state of mind that is opposed to faith. It is a questioning of God’s Word and His promises. Doubt leads to unbelief and disobedience. Faith, on the other hand, is a confident trust in God and His Word. It leads to obedience and fruitfulness. The two cannot coexist in the same heart.
Matthew 21:21-22 – “So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.'”
James 1:6-8 – “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
