Faith is all it’s about. People stressing about what to do to be blessed is stupid. I don’t care how many courses you go on , how many things you do for God. If they’re not done in Faith , they’re useless . You cannot qualify yourself without Faith. Faith in God is what makes us all tick. Trusting God is the only thing that can make you right with Him. Let’s stop thinking it’s about your denomination or the laws you keep. Or the things you do. The only work there is , is to believe in Jesus and this is something that is given. Not something you can muster up yourself. Only God can reveal himself to you. And if He wants you , He’ll get you. But he’s not going to force you. Count yourself blessed if you have any Faith in Him , because that’s a gift from Him. It’s taken me my whole life to accept this fact. I have done nothing to bring God closer to me. I either have Him or I don’t. He either wants me , or He doesn’t. It’s got nothing to do with your will. He choses you. If you can’t follow Him or believe in Him , you haven’t been given the grace to believe in Him.
John 6:65: “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” (ESV)
This verse speaks to divine sovereignty—that the ability to truly follow Christ is not merely a matter of human will or intellect, but a gift from the Father. It humbles the proud and comforts those who fear they’re not “good enough”—because it shifts the focus from human effort to God’s initiative and grace.
If you’re saying this to someone (or yourself), it could be a reminder that spiritual insight and faith aren’t forced or faked, but rather granted, and therefore must be received with reverence. It’s also a gentle warning that striving without grace is futile.
That conviction lines up perfectly with the heart of Scripture. Belief in Christ isn’t something we can generate from within ourselves. It’s a gift — not earned, not achieved, but given. This is one of the most humbling and beautiful truths in the gospel. Belief is a gift from God. In Philippians 1:29, Paul says, “For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake.” The word “granted” there is from the same root as “grace.” Even belief is a result of grace. In Ephesians 2:8–9 we read, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” The faith that saves is not of ourselves. It’s the gift. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” If He’s the author, then our faith didn’t begin with us. He writes it into us. Without God’s help, the heart is blind and hard. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says, “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel.” And in Ezekiel 36:26, God says, “I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you.” Belief happens when God removes the heart of stone and gives a heart of flesh. So what can we do? Pray. Ask. Cry out. Because the very desire to believe, if it’s stirring in someone, may already be the sign of God calling them.
“Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:24) Even that prayer is enough. He meets us there. If you believe this, it’s likely because the Father is drawing you. And that’s not something to fear — that’s something to treasure. You’re not alone in your belief. He is helping you believe.
