Apostle Grace Lubega 

John 16:8-9(KJV); And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;

The most basic of all sins is the sin of unbelief. It is unforgivable. In fact, the reason why the gates of hell yawn open is not to swallow up imperfect men but those that rejected life when they refused to believe.

The Message Version of John 16:9 lends deeper clarity to this truth. It says, “He’ll show them that their refusal to believe in me is their basic sin.”

The refusal to believe in itself is pride and sets one against God. In unbelief, men demonstrate to God that they do not need His redeeming love.

In unbelief, men demonstrate to God that they have enough power in themselves to accomplish whatever they desire.

In unbelief, men reject the priceless gift of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Your greatest qualification in the life of salvation is your faith. Not only the faith by which you received Christ, but also the faith with which you live the life in Christ.

Everything begins with faith and you must exercise yourself in this consciousness lest you be found to offend the Spirit.

Give in faith, fast in faith, worship in faith and serve in faith.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I believe in You. I believe Your Word and Your great promises. You said that I am the head and not the tail, Lord I believe it. You said that the lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places, Lord I believe it! I believe that by Your stripes I was healed, I believe that my path shines brighter and brighter unto a perfect day. I believe. Amen.
