John 20:29
Next Verse

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

Note 4 at Jn. 20:29: The type of faith that Thomas operated in was a human or natural faith that was based on what it could see. Jesus said there was a greater blessing to be obtained. That greater blessing comes from using a supernatural, God- kind of faith that is based only on God's Word (see note 2 at Mt. 8:10, p. 116).

Human faith has to be based on physical "evidence." It cannot believe what it cannot see. However, God's kind of faith, which has been imparted to every believer (Rom. 12:3), is evidence enough (Heb. 11:1; see note 2 at Mt. 17:20 p. 210; see note 8 at Mk. 11:24, p. 367).
