1 | Faith apart from reading the Bible? | Rom 10:17 | Scribe | 41908 | ||
Steve I agree with you. You are much more biblical in your understanding than those that would say you have to have read it in the bible first. I beleive that God is faithful to bring a Bible or preachers of the Bible to an honest seeker but I too had faith in Jesus Christ when as yet I had not read the Bible. I was in jail. I was crying out for God to change my life. I had this much knowledge. 1) I knew I was living a loser of a lifestyle, that I was not a good person. 2) That God still loved me , (I admit I had heard that somewere) 3) that if you pray God will help you. I prayed and prayed I was in spiritual turmoil, no rest for my soul After many days, I heard a man pray over his food in jest "God bless the mess! In Jesus Name!" I knew he was being irreverant, but when he said "In Jesus Name!" It was as if a flood light came on in my heart! I got on my knees and ask the Lord to change my life and get me a Bible IN JESUS NAME, and I believed He heard me. The next day I was moved to a place where I could get a Bible and while I waited for the delivery of the Bible I found some torn out pages of the book of James on the floor. That became my Bible for several weeks and it was what I needed to start my life of sanctification in Christ. May God Bless you All. |

Hi, Scribe; Thanks for the reply. And your great testimony. God speaks to us as he chooses. He gave us the Bible not only as a means to communicate with us but to provide a measure by which we can judge these experiences. God revealed nothing to me that was not already revealed in the Bible; it sounds as though the same is true in your case. In this way we can be confident that the message is of God even though it may have passed through many messengers to get to us. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
