1 | Are we looking for a way or the Way? | Matt 7:13 | lionheart | 143570 | ||
In Genesis 15:1 God tells Abraham Do not be afraid Abram.I am your shield,your very great reward.I dont know if I would look at knowing the Father as a way as much as I would look at it as the way. God is what we get I dont know that it gets any better than that.I guess the big question here now is do we get complacent or do as Paul states in Philippians 2:12 work out your salvation with fear and trembling;13 for it is God who is at work in you,both to will and to work for His good pleasure. I would pray that all of us will be inspired to go above and beyond where our walk with God is concerned. In Christ, lionheart |

2 | Are we looking for a way or the Way? | Matt 7:13 | Ray | 143573 | ||
Hi lionheart, You wrote, "I don't know if I would look at knowing the Father as a way as much as I would look at it as the way." I love language, but it is often hard to determine the emphases and meaning on the typed paper. I think you are differentiating between "a way" and "the way". O.K. I see that as your point of focus. Now look at the sentence looking at differentiating between the "Father as a way" and "it as the way". Is "it" a way"? Is "it" enough for us? Is the father or even the Father enough for us? You have mentioned an excellent verse for working out this question. I do not see God the Father as an "it". This is my translation/interpretation for that verse. Philippians 2:12, "for God is the *One who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." We are children of (God) as we walk with (Him). 1 John 3:1, "See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of (God); and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him." 1 John 2:6, "the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as (He) walked." The parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
