Bible Question:
Dear Mylwa, Good Scripture. I would like to ask for a bit more. As to the same for all belivers, why does Jesus use the terms "little faith" and " great faith?" If these are meaningful, how do we lose or gain faith? Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Dear Charis, according to Heb 12:2 Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. Therefore he is the authorof the words which produce faith. No wonder Martha had made the right choise.Lk 10:38-42. There are many other examples. So in other words the Lord Jesus has left it to us to make the choise - whether to gain or lose faith. |
