Yes, without water.
Like this..
"Abraham BELIEVED GOD, and it "IT", (his Faith)., was credited to Him as Righteousness".
See that?
We give, Faith in CHRIST....., and God responds with "the gift of Salvation".
No water pours out of Heaven.
Notice?
He's not in the fish tank.
Jesus is the LIVING Water, who lives IN the Born again.
So, "Abraham is the Father of OUR Faith"......because the born again have given God "Like faith".....the same.....and God accepts it.
Result?
"Faith is counted"
"Justification by Faith".
"without faith, its impossible to please God"
And someone who is confused by JAMES says...>"but can faith save us"?
And the answer is.....NO......because Faith is not the SAVIOR.
Jesus is the MEANS....by which God SAVES us.
"blood atonement" "Gift of Righteousness".
God is the SAVIOR... He saves us THROUGH our Faith......
See, many are trusting in Faith......as if Faith hung on the Cross.
I hear confused believers all the time say to me...>"well, as long as i hold unto my faith, i stay saved, i'll go to Heaven".
No you wont. As FAITH is not your savior.... You're trusting in FAITH, and that is not literally to trust in Christ.
This misunderstanding is generally a confused CHRISTian, as most unbelievers have no idea what "faith in Christ" even means.... to begin with, or why God requires faith.
Jesus said, "you must be born again"....
See, Its God who holds unto us by Spiritual Birth,.....:"born again".... because we gave Him our faith in Christ ONE TIME, and then He performs this, forever.
Philippians 1:6
