  • For forty years did unbelief, murmuring, and rebellion shut out ancient Israel from the land of Canaan. The same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan. In neither case were the promises of God at fault. It is the unbelief, the worldliness, unconsecration, and strife among the Lord's professed people that have kept us in this world of sin and sorrow so many years

  • There are those who insist that it is a very bad thing to question God. To them, “why?” is a rude question. That depends, I believe, on whether it is an honest search, in faith, for His meaning, or whether it is the challenge of unbelief and rebellion.

    Elisabeth Elliot (2006). “On Asking God Why: And Other Reflections on Trusting God in a Twisted World”, p.18, Revell
  • Where faith is not continually kept in motion and exercised, it weakens and decreases, so that it must indeed vanish; and yet we do not see nor feel this weakness ourselves, except in times of need and temptation, when unbelief rages too strongly; and yet for that very reason faith must have temptations in which it may battle and grow.

  • Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die.

  • It is the Jews who originated biblical exegesis (a critical analysis of the Bible), just as they were the first to criticize the forms and doctrines of Christianity...Truly has Darmesteter written: 'The Jew was the apostle of unbelief, and every revolt of mind originated with him.'

  • The great paralysis of our heart is unbelief.

    Oswald Chambers, Harry Verploegh (1990). “The Oswald Chambers Devotional Reader: 52 Weekly Themes”, Oliver-Nelson Books
  • When we worry, we are telling God, "You are neither trustworthy nor in control, so I need to worry and scheme as I take matters into my own hands." In this way unbelief drives worry, for it is impossible to worry when we are trusting in the provision of our sovereign God.

    Hands   Worry   Needs  
  • All we have gained then by our unbelief Is a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt: We called the chess-board white-we call it black.

    Life   White   Black  
    'Bishop Blougram's Apology' (1855) l. 209
  • I have noticed that whenever a person gives up his belief in the Word of God because it requires that he should believe a good deal, his unbelief requires him to believe a great deal more. If there be any difficulties in the faith of Christ, they are not one-tenth as great as the absurdities in any system of unbelief which seeks to take its place.

    "The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 39: Sermons 2289-2341".
  • Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

    'Olney Hymns' (1779) 'Light Shining out of Darkness'
  • The one thing that hinders God is our unbelief.

    F.B. Meyer (2002). “Abraham: The Obedience of Faith”, p.58, CLC Publications
  • God's ways do not change... Still he shows his freedom and lordship by discriminating between sinners, causing some to hear the gospel while others do not hear it, and moving some of those who hear it to repentance while leaving others in their unbelief, thus teaching his saints that hew owes mercy to none and that it is entirely of his grace, not at all through their own effort, that they themselves have found life.

  • Withhold no part of the precious truth, but speak what you know and declare what you have seen. Do not allow the toil or darkness or possible unbelief of your friends to dissuade you. Let us rise and march to the place of duty, and there declare what great things God has shown to our soul.

    Soul   Darkness   Toil  
  • When did atheists become so evangelical? I mean, if you don't believe something to be true, wouldn't you just ignore it? That's certainly what I do. Whether it's leprechauns or a congressional debt reduction plan - if I'm convinced it's fiction, I simply put it out of my mind. Not the atheists. They are obsessed with faith and religious practice. Their identities and their works are one big reaction to that which they hate. No longer content to simply dismiss God and those who follow in Him, the New Atheists have created a cult of unbelief.

  • The errors of faith are better than the best thoughts of unbelief.

    Faith   Errors   Unbelief  
  • Profound minds are the most likely to think lightly of the resources of human reason, and it is the superficial thinker who is generally strongest in every kind of unbelief.

    Sir Humphry Davy, J. D., John DAVY (M.D., F.R.S.) (1851). “Salmonia: or, Days of fly fishing ... By an Angler i.e. Sir Humphry Davy . Third edition. With plates”, p.168
  • Today secular faith is ebbing, and it is the apostles of unbelief who are left stranded on the beach.

    Beach   Atheist   Today  
    "The atheist delusion" by John Gray, www.theguardian.com. March 14, 2008.
  • God has set before you an open door which no man has a right or power to shut. If you should be shut out, it will be by your own unbelief, and not for want of a warrant to come. Enter, then, without delay or hesitation. None can less afford to delay than the aged sinner. Now is the time. Now or never. You have, as it were, one foot already in the grave. Your opportunities will soon be over. Strive, then, I entreat you, to enter in at the strait gate.

  • It's not easy to change world views. Faith has its own momentum and belief is comfortable. To restructure reality is traumatic and scary. That is why many intelligent people continue to believe: unbelief is an unknown.

    Dan Barker (1992). “Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist”, Freedom from Religion Fndtn
  • Words that are not spoken are much more powerful than words that are spoken in unbelief.

    Charles Capps (1981). “Changing the Seen and Shaping the Unseen”, Harrison House Incorporated
  • Lament is a cry of belief in a good God, a God who has His ear to our hearts, a God who transfigures the ugly into beauty. Complaint is the bitter howl of unbelief in any benevolent God in this moment, a distrust in the love-beat of the Father's heart.

    Father   Heart   Ears  
    Ann Voskamp (2011). “One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are”, p.175, Zondervan
  • Faith does not increase, nor does it decrease; because a diminution in it would be unbelief.

    Faith   Would Be   Doe  
  • I would say to my soul, O my soul, this is not the place of despair; this is not the time to despair in. As long as mine eyes can find a promise in the Bible, as long as there is a moment left me of breath or life in this world, so long will I wait or look for mercy, so long will I fight against unbelief and despair.

    Eye   Fighting   Long  
    John Bunyan (1850). “The works of John Bunyan: With an introduction to each treatise, notes, and a sketch of his life, times, and contemporaries”, p.92
  • Men have, for the most part, done with lamenting their lost faith. Sentimental tears over the happy, simple Christendom of their fathers are a thing of the past. They are proclaiming now their contempt for Christ's character, and their disgust at the very name of love. Scorn and hatred, difference and division, must be more than ever our lot, if we would be the followers of Christ in these days. Conventional religion and polite unbelief are gone forever.

    Love   Father   Character  
  • Atheism. There is not a single exalting and emancipating influence that does not in turn become inhibitory.

    Atheism   Doe   Influence  
    "Journals". Translated by Justin O'Brien, January 13, 1929.
  • Unbelief will destroy the best of us; faith will save the worst of us.

    Worst   Unbelief  
    Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1883). “The Present Truth: A Collection of Sermons Preached at the Metropolitan Tabernacle”
  • Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (2010). “Essays and English Traits by Ralph Waldo Emerson: The Five Foot Shelf of Classics, Vol. V (in 51 Volumes)”, p.294, Cosimo, Inc.
  • No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.

    Godly   Men   Entering  
    John Calvin (1975). “John Calvin: Selections from His Writings”, p.558, Oxford University Press
  • I believe all that God ever revealed, and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief.

    Believe   Men   Too Much  
  • Unbelief is judged by Jesus not as an intellectual error but as a hostile act of prejudice against God himself.

    R. C. Sproul (1991). “Following Christ”, Tyndale House Pub
