Bible Question: A very long time ago I embarked upon my first complete reading of the Bible from cover to cover. While reading one night I remember running across a verse that stuck with me even ten years later. I can't recall the exact wording, nor the book in which it was located, but I recall the gist of it which was:Act as though you have faith, and you will be granted faith. I've since done a lot of searching, but I have never found it again. When I finally had internet access, I searched for approximations and found something like this-"Act as if ye had faith, and faith will be given to you." and other variations on the same theme. This has been attributed to many. Just to name a few: Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul, the Bible, St. Ignatius, Pascal, and an anonymous Baptist minister. If anyone can help me locate the origin of this, it would mean a great deal to me. Thank you so much. -Dave |
Bible Answer: Hi Dave, You might want to consider Galatians 5:5 In the NASB it reads, For we through the Spirit, by faith, are (1) waiting for the hope of righteousness. Footnotes:Rom 8:23; 1 Cor 1:7 God Bless, Tim |
