2 timothy 2:13. Sanctification is a process for overcoming unbelief in God. Sanctification is also a process for putting our belief into action. Sanctification is a spiritual process where we supersede our physical five senses to come into a closer relationship with a supernatural God. To be sanctified is to be set aside for God.

Proverbs 24:12. If you are asking yourself “Why am I unhappy”, it may be because of you are in denial of God. Denying God can bring great unhappiness because you are denying your purpose and reason for living. Being in denial of God is a futile act that brings no satisfaction. If you have doubts about God, that is not a reason to deny Him.

Mark 16:4. A passion for Christ comes from knowing in your heart that Jesus defeated death and is alive today forever. Coming into the reality that Jesus (God in the flesh) defeated death on the cross and was resurrected is the essence of having a passion for Christ.

Exodus 3:11. There is no good excuse for not fulfilling the calling that God has put on our lives. We can say “I am not ready; I am unworthy, I do not want to do it, I can't do it, and so on”. None of these excuses matter to God. When He gives us a calling in our lives, He already has a plan for us to fulfill our calling. The only thing holding us back is ourselves.

Summary. Why do we go lacking?

Bible Summary. By our actions many us demonstrate our unbelief in God on a daily basis. The Bible tells us that if we are in sin (in disobedience of God) we really do not know God or believe in Him. We demonstrate our unbelief in Him when we value material things over spiritual things. Spiritual things include things such as love, truth, righteousness, and goodness to name a few.

Romans 1:31. From a Christian perspective, good values are valuing the things of God. A lack of good values is a sign of having unbelief in God. Godly values are spiritual things such as love, truth, righteousness, and goodness to name a few. When we love material things over the things of God, we are lacking in good values. We have unbelief in God.

Exodus 32:23. Whenever we stray from God's purpose in our lives, most of us can come up with a good excuse to justify our actions. The number one excuse is for us to blame it on other people. This is what Aaron did in the Bible when he was confronted by Moses concerning the Golden Calf. Moses questioned Aaron on why he had led the Israelites into sin with the worship of the Golden Calf.

Your faith and hope in God enable you to be a born again Christian. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you are doing this in faith of God’s promises. To keep your salvation you must remain and stand in faith everyday. When you are born again you are like a branch that was cut off, but now you are grafted to the tree to live again.

2 Kings 17:4. We have to believe all of God's word not just some of it. What many of us do is selectively believe part of God's word. It is easy to believe that God is a god of love and that He is a provider. What is not easy to accept is that God is a righteous God. In His righteousness He cannot tolerate things that are not of Him.

Revelation 21:8. The third type of death is Eternal death. Eternal death is eternal separation from God. If we have not accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will face death that is eternal on Judgment Day. Eternal death happens because man chooses sin (disobedience to God), and thus, we choose to be separated from God.

1 John 4:8. The key difference between lust and love is that love is God and selfish lust is not of God. Like truth, God is the source of all love (1 John 4:8, "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love"). Anyone without love does not have God in him. Anyone with true "agape" love has God in him.

2 Thessalonians 2:12. The definition of lust includes loving things that are not of God. You lust when you have pleasure in something that does not line up with the Word of God.
