“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”
Hebrews 3:12-13 KJV
Explanation of what unbelief does, “So search your hearts every day, my brothers and sisters, and make sure that none of you has evil or unbelief hiding within you. For it will lead you astray, and make you unresponsive to the living God. This is the time to encourage each other to never be stubborn or hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” Let’s make sure that none of us tolerates the poison of unbelief in our hearts, allowing callousness to distract and distance us from the living God. Unbelief is believing a lie about ourselves and our salvation, and exchanges the living God for a dead god of our own imagination. A calloused heart is a mind dominated by the senses. Instead, let’s remind ourselves daily of our true identity; making today count! Sin is anything that distracts us from the awareness of our authentic Christ-likeness. The Holy Spirit has been given to us precisely for this - making us Christ-like. Amen!
