Bible Note: Hi, Aspilos. Your questions do not equate intrusion by any means!.... 1 Thess. 1:3. Look at the familiar theme of Paul: faith, hope love (cf. 1 Cor. 13). The terms "work of faith" "labor of love" and "patience of hope" all refer to ministerial duties which were being carried out by the faithful Thessalonians. The work, the labor, and the patience were the result -- the consequence -- of the spiritual attributes of faith, hope, and love. Thus the "work" in your question was not faith itself, but a manifestion of it. See also Hebrews 11. ..... John 6:29... Read down from v.22. The crowds who heard Jesus' teaching about the messianic kingdom misunderstood his points, not an uncommon occurence then, or now. They ask Him in v.26 "What shall we do that we may work the works of God." Their obvious thought pattern then, and the thought pattern of some people today, including some Christians, was that God required them to do some works in order to earn everlasting life. So, correcting them, Jesus responded that the work of God (of God, not man) was (simply put) "Believe in Him (Jesus) whom He (God) sent. Belief (faith) therefore was not connected with or dependent upon work, and work was not a requisite for salvation. --Hank |
