Bible Question (short): Results DO matter |
Question (full): I am very surprised at your statement "It also doesn't matter in the results..." Have you read where Jesus said "If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me , and I in him." John 10:37-38? What if Jesus had not had "results" in His ministry. Also Mark 16:20 :And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen". And Mark 16:17 "And these signs (results) shall follow them that believe...." This is God's litmus test as to who is a believer? Each of us should measure our believing by our results. They do matter. These are only a few of the scriptures for your consideration. Are you implying that the confirmation God has promised doesn't matter. If that were true wouldn't you be saying that it is the one who is most able to articulate their faith one should believe is correct? I have heard Buddhists and Muslims and many other non-christian followers that are very convincing. If you believe that results really do not matter then you are leaving the unbelieving and unlearned to make their choice according to who they hear and who makes the best verbal argument for their faith. God is wiser than that. He knew the enemy is cunning and that is why He confirms His Word with "results". I understand that Satan can do some signs also. And of course God does not support them. The magicians withstood Moses and his wonders for a time. But all they could do was create the same curse (to a point). They could not bless the Egyptians by removing the curse Moses brought. Read it yourself. I hope you will see. |
