Our faith or belief is directly correlated to where we get honor or glory from.
John 5 speaks to this clearly. Jesus admonished the people with where they found glory (honor). In v 41, He says that He doesnt receive it from men. v43 a person coming in his own name is received but not Jesus, and he comes in the name of the Father. v44 “HOW can you BELIEVE, WHEN you RECEIVE GLORY from ONE ANOTHER and you DO NOT SEEK the glory that is FROM THE ONE AND ONLY GOD?”
Faith/Belief is found when seeking God’s glory
Faith/Belief is not needing man’s honor or glory
Unbelief can be found when you seek honor from man
Do NOT go out seeking honor from man. It hurts your ability to believe.
John 5
Witness of the Scripture
39 “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life ; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling * to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 “I do not receive glory from men ; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 “How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God ?
