Lord, Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. Confidence in Christ means Faith in Jesus Christ. It is beyond the world we interpret through our five senses. It is outside of the intellectual realm in which we reach conclusions through logical reasoning.
Faith is the most difficult Christian ideal to accept.
We block our full exercise of Faith in so many ways. Doubt assails us constantly. It is rejected because it cannot be rationalized. We accept Faith in principle but are afraid to use it in practice. Our Faith may glow warm and healing in the emotional atmosphere of Divine Worship but pale to an ineffective light when we are not with a Christian company.
