Text: Acts 14
Unbelief comes from:
1) Ignorance - I don't know the truth, but I can learn it.
2) Rejection - I know the truth, but I am in rebellion.
The former is handled by teaching; the latter is dealt with by discipline.
Persuaded - In Acts 14:1-7, some believed and some did not. Those who didn't, "poisoned the minds" of others. In Verses 8-18, the people were persuaded by what they saw that Paul and Barnabas were gods. When I see a thing, I decide how to interpret it.
Jews from Antioch and Iconium came and persuaded the multitudes that Paul and Barnabas were not of God. Paul was stoned and left for dead. The things we see, hear, and feel will not truly persuade us. Decide to believe the Word and God. The fruit of faith is joy and peace.
