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. |

Hello Ken, you make a good point. At the hearing of the Word faith in the word preached prompts us to repent and therefore, receive salvation. But can you elaborate on this statement? "only now it is He, Himself, THE WORD, Jesus, who is our faith that we must live by!" I would appreciate it God bless |

At the hearing of the Word faith in the word preached prompts us to repent and therefore, receive salvation. But can you elaborate on this statement? "only now it is He, Himself, THE WORD, Jesus, who is our faith that we must live by!" ----------------------------------- Ph1.21 Paul said this and it was his experience: "For to me to live is Christ, ...." He lived in Romans 8 and John 17.21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us. May I suggest that you begin to view your life in Him as a son to be, but a son [now] nevertheless. You are to live by a new law given by God Himself, i.e., the person of Christ Jesus Himself. Paul says in Roms 8.2.14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. But read the chapter again in the light of Jesus living in you and His faith being excerised in you as you live IN the Him. [back to Jn 17 with that] |

"But read the chapter again in the light of Jesus living in you and His faith being excerised in you as you live IN the Him." Romans 10:17 says,"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." How does that fit? God bless |

Romans 10:17 says,"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." How does that fit? -------------------------------- Wouldn't you expect that the faith of Jesus comes with Him when He takes up His abode in you and me? Paul seems to think so and the Holy Spirit seems to confirm this to Paul when he says in Gal 2.20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live BY [my] faith In the Son of God.... We could carry this out to continue to say: "who now expresses Himself through my obedience to His life in me to the Glory of God, "our" Father". Makes sense? Can't I legally conclude that? Isn't there a cooperation seen in this arrangement? If you agree then ask yourself the question: "Am I keeping my end of the bargain? |
