NASB | Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. |
Subject: Operate on faith or endure? |
Bible Note: " I believe that once you have renewed your mind in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe renewing our minds is a lifetime process)" I agree that the renewal of your mind is a liftime process, but why do you seem to state that Romans 12:2 is talking about us renewing our own minds? I hold the view that by not conforming to this world (the opposite road to mind-renewal), the Spirit works through our study of God's revealed will (i.e. the Bible) to renew our minds. In Christian terms, the preaching and study of the word is a "means of grace," an avenue by which the Holy Spirit works to renew our minds Himself. "then you can 1. prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God 2. ask according to His will" Again, I agree. However, why do you hold the will in Romans 12:2 to be anything but God's revealed will in Scripture? --Joe! |
