What does the Bible say about being double-minded?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that a double-minded person is unstable and cannot expect to receive anything from the Lord (James 1:7-8).
The term 'double-minded,' as used in the book of James, refers to a person who wavers between two minds or opinions, highlighting instability and inconsistency in faith (James 1:8). James warns that such individuals cannot expect to receive anything from the Lord, as their lack of commitment and decisiveness prevents them from fully trusting in God's provision. This instability in faith can lead to confusion and an inability to grasp the truths of Scripture, ultimately affecting one's relationship with God. Believers are called to seek wisdom from God with a single-minded faith, free from distractions and doubts, fully relying on His promises.
