"You Cannot Live Beyond What You Believe"

Jesus challenged many people during his public ministry to exercise faith.  He did this in order to get people to stop trusting in themselves, and to trust God.  There were those who who performed the actions of faith, and there were those who struggled with faith.  They were captured in the snare of unbelief.  They wanted certain things to happen in their lives, but they were found wanting due to their failure to believe God.  This, unfortunately is the estate of many who lack sufficient faith in God.
