Key Verse: "And immediately Jesus
stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of
little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"
- Matthew 14:31 KJV
Doubting faith is not doubtful faith. If the believer has
not the faith of assurance, he may have the faith of reliance, and that will
take him to heaven. All the doubts and fears that ever harassed a child of
God cannot erase his name from the Lamb's book of life, nor take him out of
the heart of God, nor shut him out of glory. "Unbelief," says Rutherford,
"may perhaps tear the copies of the covenant which Christ has given you; but
He still keeps the original in heaven with Himself. Your doubts and fears
are no parts of the covenant; neither can they change Christ."
