Why Unbelief is Evil
Hebrews tells us to beware of “an evil heart of unbelief” (Heb. 3:12). Unbelief is evil because:
1) It suggests God’s Word is unreliable, that we cannot depend upon it.
2) It impugns the holy character of God, suggesting He is not speaking the truth.
3) It implies God is either weak or unloving, unwilling or unable to help us.
4) It lead’s to disobedience, and the work of God is not done.
5) It robs the world of an important witness.
6) It wastes valuable time, and we all have only so much of it.
7) It keeps God’s people from enjoying His blessings.
