B”—Belief. We must continually teach and learn the Gospel because even Christians struggle to truly believe God’s Good News. The message of the cross is both countercultural and counterintuitive.
To the world it is foolishness and weakness. To our flesh it is simply too good to be true. And the Devil—the accuser—continually speaks a contradictory word to our hearts. Hearing all this we, with knowledge and awareness of our sins and failures, struggle to believe the Gospel. To believe it at a deep level, with an appropriate appreciation of all that it implies, is a lifelong task. We must hear it again and again and ask God to seal its truth on our hearts.
“Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24). God answers this request through the Gospel.
