Evil heart or unbelief

Hebrews 3:12 KJV — Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

We’re living in a time where bad is called good, and good is called bad. This is just how the Bible described it in Isaiah.

And in this time, unbelief has been branded and positioned as being thoughtful or the mark of diligence.

It isn’t.

Belief is not independent of thought. And this is not an advocacy for so-called “blind faith”.

This Scripture is dealing with your response to something which you know to be true, but choose not to believe.

Belief is not the reflexive response to experiencing truth. Belief is not automatic.

So when you choose not to believe in your heart that which you know to be true, that’s what you need to guard against.

Unbelief isn’t neutral or praiseworthy. It’s the antithesis of your faith and confidence in your relationship with Jesus.
