Subject: What did Jesus mean by this |
Bible Note: 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. |
