Bible Note: 'I sorry you have problem here because "Jesus seeing their faith" healed and told man to walk.' Yes, that was Jesus the God-man seeing the faith of His fellow humans and physically healing them. What does this have to do with the omniscient Father declaring humans righteous on the basis of faith apart from works (Romans 4:5-6). "Faith needs to be seen and repenting needs to be more than talk." True faith will be seen, but that does not mean that God doesn't know it is there before it is seen in our works. Repentance isn't even talk. Good works are the fruit of repentance and not repentance itself (Luke 3:8; Galatians 5:22-23). Repentance and faith is a disposition of the heart that results in works. --Joe! |
