Subject: What did Jesus mean by this |
Bible Note: "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!" 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 |
