What does the Bible say about doubt?

Doubt is a common human experience, even for the faithful. In Matthew 11:1-6, we see John the Baptist, a profound prophet, imprisoned and questioning if Jesus is indeed the one who was to come. This illustrates that doubt is not a sign of unbelief but rather a part of the struggle of faith. Charles Spurgeon pointed out that if someone claims to never doubt, it likely indicates a lack of genuine belief. The presence of doubt can actually lead believers to seek answers and grow stronger in their faith as they turn to God for reassurance.
