How can we tell if faith is real?  Is it a matter of sincerity?  Not by itself, because a person can be sincerely wrong.  This morning as we finish up Daniel 2, we finally see Nebuchadnezzar’s response to Daniel’s miraculous recounting and interpreting of the king’s dream.

 

Nebuchadnezzar displays 4 responses that, by themselves, do not mean he truly believed in God alone: 1) An Emotional Response By Itself is Not a Sign of Sincere Faith; 2) Worship Alone is Not a Sign of Sincere Faith; 3) Simply Acknowledging God as the Greatest Authority is Not a Sign of Sincere Faith; 4) Giving Generously is Not a Sure Sign of Sincere Faith.

 

We’ll finish up by discussing where sincere faith is found: 5) Sincere Faith is Found in Fully Trusting Christ.

 

God wants our sincere faith, not just an outward show of favor.
