Doubt Is not Sin. It Is Temptation — Daniel Yoder — Ep. 189
Channel: Anabaptist Perspectives
Date: 2023-06-15

How does a struggling believer find reassurance? Daniel Yoder discusses four categories of doubt: factual, philosophical, emotional and volitional. In dealing with any of these we need to investigate the truth.  The power is not in the strength of our faith but in the power of God in whom we have faith. Based on Romans 10, Daniel calls us to reconfirm our confession of Christ as Lord and submission to his Lordship. Whether or not we are bothered by doubt we should be regularly examining ourselves to see if we are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13). How do we examine ourselves? Daniel gives three suggestions for self-examination.

Do I believe in Jesus?
Am I obeying Jesus?
Am I learning to know Jesus better?
