Subject: What does the word "these" reference? |
Bible Note: Greetings lionheart - thank you for the warm greeting. I understand what you are saying, yet it appears to me that the emphasis, imo is what God works in us to accomplish His purpose - to conform us to the image of His Son, Jesus. We particpate in cooperating with Him, but apart from God at work in us, we can do nothing to bring these attributes about. (John 15:5) Blessings, mommapbs |
