AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace [God's remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith.

Subject: Keliy, can faith be predetermined? |
Bible Note: Hello Keliy Iam just coming across this scripture that is saying. Gal.3:23 We were kept under the law shut up unto faith which should afterwards be revealed. Is this saying? A person that is not being saved cannot be having Faith. Is it also saying to a saved person? If you are trying to live a life towards God by trying to keep laws your faith is then shut away again. We are having the choice to either be keeping of the Laws. Or we can be having Faith. But the 2 are not being compatible with each other. Faith is beleaving God for what he has said. But by keeping the laws. We are then expecting a reward. Your Brother in Jesus KcabmI4 |
