3 | faith and believe are they the same? | Heb 11:1 | Radioman2 | 94725 | ||
You write: "with faith you may not KNOW how it will happen, but you FEEL(believe) it is possible" I respectfully disagree. 'Do not depend upon feelings. The promise of God's Word, not our feelings, is our authority. The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word. This train diagram [see the website listed below] illustrates the relationship between fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience) (John 14:21). [In the train diagram, Fact is the engine that pulls the train. Faith is the car directly behind Fact (the engine). At the very end of the train is the caboose, which is Feeling.] 'The train will run with or without the caboose [Feeling]. However, it would be futile to attempt to pull the train by the caboose. In the same way, we, as Christians, do not depend upon feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and the promises of His Word' (Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Spirit-Filled Life? (http://archive.christianwomentoday.com/spiritfilledlife.html)). Grace to you, Radioman2 |
