Faith Part 14

[Ztheberean]

Faith needs (the teaching of) GRACE (God working upon us) so that we can have the obedience that is in His name (Rom 1:5). The will of God is that we would receive the gift of the (teaching of the) grace of God so that it can be said that we have taken on the fellowship of a ministering saint (2Cor 8:5-4 and 1), and be finished in grace, PROVIDING we have received a “willingness” to learn the teaching of the grace of God, which is beyond “our” power otherwise to receive (8:6, 3 and 12).God has given this ministering saint a sincerely caring heart with all diligence (to establish us in the understanding of grace) once he has been sent unto us (2Cor 8:16-17), so that we would increase in faith, knowledge (of the work of God), diligence (to be in these things), and sincere love of the brethren (in the truth, with the actions of love). Are you in THIS grace? (2Cor 8:7) If so, then you have been given the grace of God so that you could have these good things (1Cor 1:4-5), to prove the sincerity of your love because you are doing these things (8:8).Have you been given (the sincere) love that can rejoice in this truth? OR are you into some other iniquity? (Self-motivated deeds) (1Cor 13:6). Those that are into sincere love understand (by experience) that the truth reveals the grace of God (at work) (Col 1:6). Believers who have been given sincere love from God are not into seeking “their own” desires, because their thoughts are no longer “evil” (motivated for self) (1Cor 13:5).This is why it is said that LOVE is greater than faith and hope (1Cor 13:13) Have you asked of God to make you follow after the love that desires the spiritual gift of prophecy so that you can edify the church by the word within exhortations, and comfort?(1Cor 14:1, 3-4) If so, then you are into the knowledge of doctrine so that you can be profitable unto others (14:6), because you can speak words that can be understood (14:9), Because its all about the edifying of the church (14:4), by the knowledge of doctrine (14:6).Without the knowledge of the doctrine of God in Christ, no one can do the will of God, because all we can speak about is “ourselves” (and what we can do, rather than what God is doing) (Jn 7:17). Believers who speak about “their own selves” is because they are not in THIS truth, so they are captive in lusts, because they are following after the devils will (which is into “their own” way, will, and work)(Jn 8:44). Therefore these lusty believers can’t understand these words of Jesus (8:43), and they are NOT of God because they WON’T HEAR these words (8:47).
