Bible Question:
Paul in writing Ephes. 2:8,9 uses in the formation of these verses what is called a parataxis. With this in mind what actually is the gift of God “according to Scripture”? Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. CDBJ |
Bible Answer: Hi CDBJ, Since the third gift of the Spirit listed in 1 Cor 12, is faith, it looks very much to me (according to Scripture) that it is that ("wonder-working") saving faith, given to us by His amazing grace. Saving faith is the gift of God, and what a wonderful gift it is! :-) John |
