unbelief is a direct affront upon the character of God. It casts doubt upon His works in the past, and it questions His integrity in the present: Does He really exist? Is He really the rewarder of those who seek Him? Did He really make such a promise? Such questions put God on trial by submitting His claims to human scrutiny. They are spawned from the heart of the devil and are the very means used to murder our first parents.15 To disbelieve God is to bring the whole of who He is into question, but to believe Him is to affirm His testimony regarding Himself and to bring Him glory.
