1 | What did Jesus mean by this | Mark 9:23 | Ken hepting | 91606 | ||
Please consider what Jesus said to the woman in: Luke 8.48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith hath made you whole; go in peace. Here he is speaking to an obviously unsaved woman who's faith took her to Him for Healing [salvation]. Question: How do we get faith established into our 'old nature' sufficient to bring us to Christ for His healing [salvation]? Doesn't the Bible say that "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." We can carry this to the next dimension and readily state that that is how we continually take Christ's faith into ourselves AFTER He "heals" us [salvation] and by the fact of the new birth experince, only now it is He, Himself, THE WORD, Jesus, who is our faith that we must live by! ACTS 17.28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being;...... For we are also his offspring. |

2 | What did Jesus mean by this | Mark 9:23 | Asis | 91648 | ||
The faith that we have comes from us. Then when we believe it comes from Jesus. What about Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. [KJV] Do you think the faith that Jesus saw in those people whose infirmities he healed was faith given them by God? Peter call Jesus the Messiah and Jesus said that knowledge came from God not man. Couldn't God have given those who believed that Jesus was the Messiah the faith required to believe He could heal the diseases? Now that we believe God, when we hear the word faith comes and we appropriate it. We make part of us and call it my faith. Are we not also to be established in righteousness given us just because we believe God (Romans 3:21-22) Isaiah 54:14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. [KJV] Jesus told us to have the "God kind of faith" Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. [KJV] Literally, "Have the faith of God." Such is possible or it would not be a command. Man was created with God's faith but doubt entered in at the fall (Genesis 3:1-7). Faith is restored in the new birth and if normally exercised and maintained it will grow to fullness and power (Romans 1:5,17; Romans 10:17; Galatians 2:20; Col. 1:23; Col. 2:6-7; 2 Thes. 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-5). Dakes Annotated Bible Just something to think about. Asis |
