Now if your faith does not rest upon the Word of God, it’s not Bible faith at all. It has to rest upon what God says. And, actually, it means to believe God. The question is whether you believe God or not. Don’t come up with this idea that you’ve got intellectual problems, because that won’t work. The thing that keeps men from the Word of God is sin. It’s sin in your life that’s keeping you from coming to God, you see. It’s the heart that needs to believe. It’s “the heart that believeth unto righteousness.” You see, when you’re ready to give up your sin, the Holy Spirit will make real to you the Word of God.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
