Doubt is to be uncertain of, to question the truth of, to lack confidence in or to consider unlikely.

Doubt is the lack of confidence or assurance that God will keep His promises. Faith is an active confidence that God’s promises are always true.

– James MacDonald

Doubt rises in our insecurities

Doubt can undermine our faith

Having faith does not mean never having doubts or questions: It does mean remaining obedient.

– John Ortberg

Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.” A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

– John 20:24-29
