Faith is a mater of having spiritual glasses. They cannot be bought at a store. They could only be bought by the blood of Jesus. It is a price beyond the means of any one.
Faith is a gift offered freely if we ask for it.
For the hardened, skeptical heart, no amount of evidence will move a person to believe. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that someone will come to faith and believe in Jesus, and then and only then will they see the truths of the spiritual world offered to believers. We don’t believe by sight. We only see spirituals truths when we receive the gift of faith.
God is ready to give. “I stand at the door and knock….”. Btu we have to receive the gift from Him. And when we risk and step out in faith, even if we are skeptical, and believe, the blinders come off of our eyes and God will put on us spiritual glasses.
The world of the spirit if out of focus when a non believer tires to see it. Getting a wrong lens at an optometrist does not correct vision. It takes an expert to give us the lens that will correct our vision. Sometimes it takes trial and error as we read the chart with various lenses that don’t work. The chart is not readable until the eye doctor puts the correct lens before our eyes. Then all of a sudden, letters that are clear and visible.
So too with God. Life provides tests for us as we try all types of things to make the world more understandable. We try buying and eating and gambling and New Age doctrines. Nothing helps and life is a blur. Then Jesus impacts our lives and our vision starts to improve and our faith becomes sight and the spiritual eye chart of life becomes readable. Jesus offers the lens that will put your eye chart of life in focus With the lens of belief, you see.
For t hose who believe, no amount of evidence is necessary, but for those who don’t believe, no amount of evidence is enough.
