My wife and I were having a conversation about this very thing on our walk yesterday. We were discussing this statement, "Our greatest challenge is believing the Gospel."
I can't do that on my own and be sane. If I say I believe the claims of the Gospel, either I'm a Cultural Christian and I'm just saying it (lying) to fit in, I'm crazy or I'm convicted because I've experienced a divine intervention.
From beginning to end, our faith is the work of God, so no one has any reason to boast. He is the "AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith"! -Hebrews 12:2
"Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified." 2 Corinthians 13:5
As for me, by the grace of God, I'm convicted!
