Why do Christians struggle with halting between two opinions?
Answered in 1 source
Christians struggle due to the nature of sin and the allure of self-righteousness.
The struggle to halt between two opinions often stems from the persistent influence of sin and the human tendency towards self-righteousness. As Elijah questioned the Israelites, 'How long halt ye between two opinions?' it addresses our inclination to rely on both God's grace and our efforts, reflecting the challenge of fully trusting in Christ. The battle against sin continues until death, and while believers may desire to rely solely on grace, they often face temptation to mix it with works. The encouragement is to recognize the sufficiency of Christ’s work and bow in worship, surrendering all self-reliance for true rest in His grace.
