Bible Note: Dear heisthe1, Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus! Thank you for getting back to me. I do agree that faith itself is only seen by God. But the faith of the righteous is evident in the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The world and it's slaves cannot see these fruit and the faith of God's people except the Holy Spirit quicken it to their eyes. This is what we would call a 'testimony.' The world has false equivalents of all of the fruit of the Spirit, and sometimes even the church is misled by the counterfeit. I believe this is where the church sometimes gets the idea that physical blessing is equal to faith. Thank you for your blessing, and may the Lord also pour upon you His goodness. In Christ Jesus, charis |
