So what you are saying is that by faith IN Christ you received the faith OF Christ, which to me is an exercise in semantics.
For how can one have the faith OF Christ without first believing IN Christ?
For how can one have the faith OF Christ without first believing IN Christ?
Without that faith of Christ working in us. How could we let him that has no form be true and every man that has form a liar?
Romans 3 King James Version (KJV)For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
If he gives a us a loving commandment to seek his approval by studying. How could we if we had no faith to make it possible? we then would have to play who is the greastest? let him stand in the holy Place of God as the ambonation of desicraption.
Not this one (me, myself and I) Even Jesus refused to stand there... but rather gave glory to the father not seen and said ' only God not seen is good" .Our Holy God is defined by the things not seen
Men would play like the apostles "who is the greatest" in Luke 9. Which Jesus in the end identifies as the wrong manner spirit rather that walking by a faith that alone comes from hearing God . They chose the things seen .Jesus fell to the bottom of the Totem pole .all three time he hid the spiritual understanding in the parables. I believe trying to teach them how faith works so that they could hear God through his signified language the gospel.. our new tongue
What if some did not believe the faith of God (coming from) as it worked in others? They are left playing "who is the greatest" as the manner Jesus spoke of in Luke 9 turning things upside down... taking away the faith that alone comes from hearing God. Again this "who is the greatest "occurred every time (3 times) they did not understand the things of God, as it is written. They did not mix faith in what they die hear the spiritual understanding was hid
Big difference between OF coming as a source and IN ( I heard loud and clear) as reply to the work that comes it from
.IN towards and OF the source it must be properly divided
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
