You are right about John liking the word believe, he used it in one form or the other 92 times, but check out his use of the word faith, it surprised me; they both come from the same Greek root word PISTEUO or PISTIS yet the lack of the use use of the word faith is a real surprise. | ||||||

Greetings CDBJ! That was interesting! John only uses the noun form "pistis" one time in all of his writings - 1 John 5:4. But, he uses the verb form "pisteuo" over 90 times. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Paul seems to take the other tack and expounds on faith, which shows us, along with John and the emphasis on believe, the broad scope of how all Scripture is God breathed and how the Lord is diversified in trying to reach a lost and dying world with the message of Christ. I guess we could say that believe is on one side of the coin and repent is on the other and the whole thing is gilded with faith which is more precious then gold. Now there is a new wrinkle that I've coined, with the gilding, no pun intended. CDBJ | ||||||
