Subject: Do we "will" to love? |
Bible Note: Dear Terrib, You are right... and yet John Hendryx is right as well. :-) We haven't gotten to the theological term "regeneration" yet. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) You are right, that prior to God's saving work in us, we will not desire Him. Quite the contrary! Paul states, "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." (1 Corinthians 16:22) But the Lord Jesus said, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him." (John 14:23) Therefore, God must do a miraculous work in us. Sorry for slapping down an answer... but I'm trying to study for a test coming up Monday. :-) Good comments, though, Terrib! I am glad you always rise up to question things that don't sound right to you! That is a blessing for us all in the forum. I commend you for it! In Him, Doc PS My studies are hampered by the fact that I'm passing another kidney stone. Ouch! |
