Experience Quenches Doubt

In John Chapter 9 there is a man that has been blind since birth. Jesus heals him and the Pharisees do not believe that Jesus did this. Furthermore, it was the Sabbath.

The Pharisees bring this man before a council to question him. The healed blind man says in verse 25, “Whether he is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know; that though I was blind, now I see.”

This man answered doubt with his experience and it was powerful. It should be the same for us. When Satan tempts us to doubt God, we are to answer back with a recollection of what God has done for us in the past; particularly our salvation. Jesus used the Word to quench the flame of Satan, and this blind man used his experience. Both responses to Satan’s doubts are appropriate for us to use.
