Hi John Reformed, I can appreciate your introduction of Ephesians 2:8 into the discussion of John 1:13 for Ephesians 2:9 goes on and says that we are His workmanship. We are to believe in (His) name and this belief is the gift of (God); Ephesians 2:9, "not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship..." For (God) is Spirit and these things have to be spiritually discerned. We cannot consider these things from the viewpoint of the world. Ephesians 2:5, "...even when we were dead in our transgressions, [the Triune God] made us alive together with (Christ) (by grace you have been saved),..." Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of (God);..." Ephesians 4:7, "But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of (Christ's) gift." Ephesians 4:10, "He/ who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, THAT (He) MIGHT fill all things." Romans 14:9, "For to this end Christ died and lived again, THAT (He) MIGHT be Lord both of the dead and of the living." Romans 4:26, "...THAT (He) MIGHT be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Where then is boasting? It is excluded...." Ephesians 4:4, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord,/ one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of (Christ's) gift." John 4:24, "(God) is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth. The woman said to Him, 'I know that Messiah is coming, He/ who is called Christ; when that One comes, (He) will declare all things to us.' Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."" Luke 24:31, "And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him/; and He vanished from their sight. And they said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while (He) was explaining [Or,opened up] the Scriptures to us?"" John 16:7, "But (I) tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him/ to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in (Me);..." I believe that God is our Helper and also our helper. He is the Word and He gives us the word and the words to speak. From the heart, Ray |
