Bible Note: Hi Steve, If God had not spoken, you would not know, if you did not know how God thinks, you would not know God's standards, if you did not know God's standards you would have no idea what to believe, and if you did not know what to believe how would you know what faith is? God's faith is God's thoughts words and deeds reduced to writing so we can know Him! He is faith, he doesn't just have faith! His written word is his faith, written down, who he is, what he wants, and how we get there from here. Yes being a doer of the word is the key. James 1:22 Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only deceiveing YOUR OWN SELVES. You realize there are two deceivers in the world, satan and those who do not do the word of God! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
