Exploring; Does God have Faith without works?
How can this be when "you are His work" "you are His workmanship"?
according to the Gift of Grace given
the effectual "Working of His Power"

Faith without the sanctifying work of the Spirit that is to say "the circumcision of the heart by Christ Jesus"
Where IF he is not raised up and Alive —a LIVING HOPE... then your faith is dead, in darkness still.
not having passed from death unto "A LIVING HOPE" Life.
Sin unto death>is this Born anew unto A Living Hope?
Righteousness unto Life (Born anew unto A LIVING HOPE 1Peter 4:19; unto a Faithful Creator (not destitute or coming up short handed on faith, endurance, long-suffering, joy , love, mercy, grace or Faith but abounding).

does God have Faith (in possessing all things) that is dead? … Or A LIVING HOPE which we voice, He is not "dead” but "HE LIVES!"

Great is The Fathers' Mercy that causes us to be born again "ANEW": not born "ANEW" in sin unto death but merciful-filled, Faithful-filled BORN ANEW unto a "LIVING HOPE" which is not "dead" but "LIVING"...for in Him we LIVE and Move and have our Whole(complete)being.

For where He was crucified in weakness
IT was FOR the Joy (A "work' of the Spirit of God); for that Joy set before the Son of God of His Father when there was nothing to set before Him ...God did set on the Table before Him "JOY" where He endured and Lives by the Power of God who raised Him up "by a LIVING HOPE OF FAITH made ALIVE!" For the Stone was rolled away and the Tomb was opened …

1 PETER speaks of "A LIVING HOPE"
If (now for a season) it is necessary you have been in distress.
If necessary ....consider "necessary" which relates to "that which is needful, James 2:15-16 a brother or sister "destitute" of daily food where you tell them to depart and be warmed and filled but you neglect to give unto them that which is necessary or needful for the body...What does it profit? The Father of Spirits does not say depart and “be filled” without giving first what is necessary. The word speaks of no correction is first pleasant although needful(necessary)...but God doesn't do what is "necessary" "or "needful" for the body except "for our profit" that we might be partakers of this Hope and LIVE. “ANEW” unto "A Living Hope"

So that the proof (2 Corinthians 8:24) and (2 Corinthians 2:16) may be found to result in "not having my own righteousness' but to "be found" having "the righteousness of God": "PRAISE and GLORY and HONOR at the Revelation of Jesus Christ. “That I may be found at His Appearing unto His Glory, Praise, and Honor. "A Living Hope".
Hebrews 12:11 says The Father of Life desires that we might be partakers of His Holiness. And "LIVE" and would we not rather be in subjection to He who does it for our profit and Live that to be in subjection to death and die?
IT was revealed (Uncovered) to them (The prophets) that they were not serving themselves…but you.
That "they" (the prophets) were not serving themselves… but you.
to me this "uncovers" "reveals" Jesus Christ who also did not serve Himself… but YOU. It hasn’t changed Paul also spoke of being dead but “Alive” in “them” by the power of God that is not weak but works Mightily “towards You” and “in You.”

That they who were once dead, but made ANEW unto a Living HOPE where all of creation groans and travails: for the revealing, the uncovering.. of the "Sons of God the Father".

Prepare your minds for Action. (Arm yourselves 1 Peter 4:1 with this mind Christ suffered for us in the flesh. For Love "has ceased from sin.'
watch unto prayer.
Keep Sober (In Spirit)
FIX your Hope …Fix your eye on this, Look up ! Your Hope brought unto you at "the uncovering" "the revealing" of Jesus Christ.
Be not conformed (to the world)to the former lust (which were yours but now what fruit did you have in those things you are now ashamed of?" But be you transformed by the Renewing of the mind made "ANEW" unto a "LIVING HOPE" and OF Faith by the WORK of God; the circumcision of the Heart by Christ Jesus; The Sanctifying Work of the Spirit. A Faith that is not dead by no work but is a Living Hope that as He IS in the world; so are we.
