At least...

8 The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. - Romans 10

How about his own faith? Will he be looking for those who have the same faith that he himself has?

Remembering the generation of broken coal miners. How easily it was for them to grasp the basics of salvation. Educate the people and now you have a bunch a long way from any kind of spiritual blessing.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. - 1 Corinthians 3:19-20

A simple and childlike faith is all God is looking for.

Could you elaborate on that? What do you see as the πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, the faith of Jesus Christ?

I started this thread in response to an email I received this morning from a group in Israel which is finalizing a translation of the Bible. The email is titled “Discover the Faith that Yeshua wants you to have”. The passage of scripture the group used to begin their message is Luke 18:8.

An excerpt from that email -

Yeshua had a learnt, personal, mature emunah that speaks from experience, and trusts in God’s character and sovereignty. It is a faith we are to emulate.”

Bold is theirs.

For anyone interested, a link to the Messianic Jewish Bible Society website.

He‘ll be looking for those who are like-minded with him; those who have the mind of Messiah and are living in a time of great persecution at the end of the present age.

The great tribulation that will come upon the earth.

The faith he is speaking about is faith in him as well as the faith of him.
