1 | pray to God or Jesus or same?? | Rom 1:8 | reilly1041 | 93815 | ||
This question is probably very basic, I am just confused. In Romans 1:8, Paul thanks "God through Jesus Christ" for the Roman believers. What does "through" Jesus Christ mean? That Paul prays his thanksgiving to Jesus, using Jesus as the mediator between himself and God (as in 1 Tim 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus...")? But then I read John 16:26-27, "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father. " which makes it clear that Jesus is saying that we petition directly to God. So my question is --- do we pray to God or to Jesus or does it not matter because of John 10:38, "but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father." As you can see, I am confused. Thanks for your help, reilly |

2 | pray to God or Jesus or same?? | Rom 1:8 | GeorJoy | 94021 | ||
I, at one time was confused by this question as well. May our Father bless you in understanding the following, for you will be easily confused by many. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are One. No one comes to the Father but by the Son. If one dosen't believe in the Son, how could he believe in the Father, for they are one? If you believe in the Son, you can come before the Father in confidence, for through the Son, the believers are justified. Draw a triangle. On one side write "Father;" on the other side write "Son;" at the bottom write Holy Spirit. Draw a circle around the three and you have God... George |
