Episode notes
True Belief and Rest
- True belief is not demonstrated by supernatural acts, but by inner peace.
- Supernatural acts can occur without true rest, but true rest produces such acts.
Israel's Insufficient Belief
- Israel's problem wasn't disbelief in God, but insufficient belief in His love for them, hindering their rest and entry into the promised realm.
- Focus on being in the right realm, not just the right place, and avoid restlessness.
Focus on Identity
- Focus on who you are (ontology) rather than what you do (teleology).
- Embrace your identity as loved by God; this naturally leads to fulfilling your purpose.
