Subject: Does Christ come into our hearts? |
Bible Note: Thanks for the advice about questions and notes. I will get my sea legs soon. I am not sure you understand my point. Are you implying that only by saying the exact words found somewhere in scripture can we pray and be saved? Does Jesus hear the cry of my heart when I seek Him earnestly. Or does He wait until I get the words right? As for the second question. It is very clear. The word "can", meaning, is it possible? It is also clear that the words "through the Holy Spirit working" refers to His ability. Only God can impart eternal life. I am certain that you agree with that. I agree that it is not only presumptuous or unwise but more accurately impossible to improve on His words. Furthermore It would be wise for you to communicate with me exactly which words you are referring to. It is also unclear what you are referring to when you talk about deviating from the teachings of Christ and the apostles. I thought I was referring to the words of the apsotle Paul when he said Eph 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; Was it something else you were referring to? |
