Why is it difficult for some people to have faith?

Answered in 1 source

The difficulty in having faith often arises from contrary human logic and the simplicity of believing in Christ alone.

Many people find it challenging to have faith due to several factors, primarily the contrary nature of faith to human reasoning and experience. Faith in Christ can appear too simple, as society often expects complex rituals or significant achievements to correspond with divine favor. The message of believing in Jesus alone feels too straightforward compared to the weight of sin and life’s struggles. Additionally, individuals may struggle with doubt influenced by religious traditions or their own lack of understanding. The narrative in Mark 9 depicts the father's uncertainty as emblematic of the human struggle against these obstacles, showcasing that genuine faith is often met with internal and external opposition.
