Believers can overcome doubt through the revelation of Christ and a personal encounter with His presence.
Overcoming doubt begins with an encounter with the living Christ, just as Thomas experienced in the passage. In his struggle between disbelief and faith, it was Jesus who came and stood among the disciples, offering peace and revealing His wounds, which illustrates the transformative power of Christ in the lives of believers. The sermon emphasizes that faith comes through hearing the Word of God and recognizing Christ's presence in our lives. This personal encounter is crucial as it bridges the gap between doubt and belief, leading to a confession of faith, like Thomas's proclamation, 'My Lord and my God.' By continually seeking Christ and being open to His revelation in our lives, believers can move from doubt to a firm assurance rooted in His grace and truth.
