Faithfulness is an important part of your faith. As a human being, you can experience many things that call your faithfulness into question. Couples marry and divorce. But your relationship with Jesus is different; it is a faithfulness that you do not break. If you only believe and therefore have not yet felt the Holy Spirit, it is possible that you might fall away. If Jesus is in your heart, this cannot happen. Your surrender is already there, and everything that happens in your life is a pale experience compared to the deep love for God and Jesus.
As a human being, it remains difficult; some challenges, such as illness or an accident, weigh on your thoughts and emotions. But in the balance lies knowing. Knowing is not the same as believing. Once in God’s flock, you know. Words and even the Bible are ways to express yourself as a human being. For most ‘knowers,’ silence and contemplation are preferred.
