Talking about trusting God for salvation is different than talking about trusting God for some of our struggles, would you not agree?
If we trusted god fully in all things, we would never sin, but we don't that's why we struggle and must grow, babies trust less than mature adults, but even mature adults do not trust in all areas,
The problem we are having is some are tying to mix sanctification/Christian growth, with justification Christian salvation,
thats why. Keep asking loveme why shekels posting sanctification passages in a justification fixation thread, they are two different topics.
Justficarion is eternal, it can never t be earned, it is forever, it is a gift, it is freely given it not a reward, and I carri s with it now reward, what it does is assure whoever justified is that they are in Christ and when it comes to judgment day they are savd, because God sees his sons blood, not our sins.

only God can bring that to fruition, we can not grow our faith, only watch God grow it.
that is work sis, if he was telling people trust God and God will grow your faith like he promised. And he actually trusted God to do that, I could agree with him, but I can. It, because he is saying inaffect, god is. It trustworthy enough to grow our faith, we must grow it our keep it fro falling ourselves,
thats trust inself, not trust in God.
Is the world more powerful than God? if we are worried about the world taking our faith, who are we trusting in? Ourself to withstand the world, or to God, who has overcome the world?
me, I trust God, that's WHY I have faith in him, he showed me his way, and he has never let me down, I have let myself down to many times to count since I have been saved, even became a prodigal son because I thought I could do it on my own, just to utterly fail, but god has never let me down, not once,
has he let you down ever?
God grows my faith by being trustworthy. I tried to explain it in another post, I will see if you read it and responded yet.

I love that scripture!
The work of those that think they can achieve eternal life by their own self-efforts and righteousness will be "rewarded" by that which they have done. ( we all know where that will lead to...)
Those that have received Christ will inherit His blessings because He alone is our inheritance.
The "works" that believers 'have done" is this below: From this belief comes the His life manifesting in and through us to others.
John 6:28-29 (NASB)
[SUP]28 [/SUP] Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
[SUP]29 [/SUP] Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
Hi Grace...I was just sitting here myself after reading this and made up a story in my head ...I was thinking, What is someone had found out about Christ being our Savior, gave their life to Jesus, went home with no understanding of the gospels and never had a chance to learn from Scripture because he died that night, and then this comes to mind, Jesus says to" just believe"...That`s what my imaginary person done, he just believed, he had a tiny mustard seed of faith...This is a story in my head, but surely it must be true in places all over, I do know no one likes things from the top of peoples head, but do you understand my tale...xox...
