1. How can unbelief make the church ill?
Unbelief is the opposite of faith, and Jesus said, "Your faith has made you well." If we are lacking faith, we will not come to see God's promises present in our lives, because it it through faith, believing wholeheartedly, that we will receive the gifts the Father has for us.
2. Why do Christians have difficulty believing God?
Many times we have trouble believing what God says, because we are not in His Word daily, reminding us of all the truths He teaches us. It is like a memory...a day or two after the event, you may have a clear picture of it in your head, but give it 25 years, and what actually happened may not be very clear, you only remember bits and pieces, and sometimes we forget about it altogether. When we do not read God's Word daily, we start to forget what it is we believe in and then when we hear a lie that is close to the truth, but not quite right, we believe it because we don't have the truth fresh in our hearts and minds.
3. How does God Tell us He loves us?
In many ways, over and over again God tells us of His love... in His Word, and with His actions.
4. In what ways does God demonstrate His love for us?
Everything God does, He does because of love! It is because of His great love for us that He blesses us, and answers our prayers, God disciplines those that He loves, He also gives us constant care, He intervenes on our behalf and so much more.
