Bible Note: I don't believe mom's verse she offers has to do with salvation unto eternal life, Justification, but more becoming unto Father that which Jesus modeled for us, i.e., Sanctfication. 10:9? "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;" Confessing Him with the mouth is a given but the connotation seems to be that it must be an on going demonstration of Christ in ones life. Perserverance needed here [see Peter.] Ephesians 2:8-10? "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Saved to be saved. We have examples of people being healed by Christ [coming to Him] because of their own faith..in what they have come to believe He can do. Here is a list of ref. concerning faith. It is a mixture of verses that speak of the person's own faith and the faith of Christ that is within others mentioned. It's easy to mistake both faith's as being one and in a sense they are. But with careful exegesis it can seen that there are distinctions that are clearly there that they be one or the other when all of scripture pertaining to salvation and then becoming a son context is observed/retained. An example would be the "faith as a grain of mustard seed". Its clear me that that speaks of His faith [His faith equals the mind and power of God], not mine. So now if we read it that way it makes sense. My faith would be only "soul power", an excercise in conjurying. Christ Jesus IS the FAITH that Paul lived by, not his own. His own faith was just stayed on Christ. Christ did all the rest. A "mustard seeds" worth was more than enough. Continued..... |
