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