Allinall,

I find myself agreeing with you, I may have disgreed with you earlier on another post but I see, this is exactly what the truth of this matter is, the natural man, may not be able to receive the things of God, nor undertsnad them, but God who gives hearing to hear and eyes to perceive can begin a work in anyone, who when they hear can trust and obey, this is definitely a begining that never ends, because this work is of faith; from faith unto more faith, like learning to walk as a babe, walking begins with one step, and since the Spirit never quits but perseveres the end of which is to conform everyone God has elected in the image of His dear Son.

Amen I say, and I do thank Him for making a good choice in choosing them who do trust and obey..

Blessings,
Petro

Amen!  I agree with your concept of our growing faith.  That is evident in the life of Abraham.  He was a man of incredible faith, yet that faith was a journey.  He began with just enough to leave when called out of Ur of the Chaldees, grew to a saving faith, and then to a living faith.  I think sometimes we think of our faith as insufficient when we should see it as immature.  This fits with scripture.  Take for example the times that Christ said "Oh ye of little faith."  He was denoting the amount of faith at those times, but rather the maturity of that faith.  It was little, not grown.  What's more, you can see that faith mature in the writings of those to whom He said it!  

Thank you for that post brother!

Allinall,

The just shall live by faith, and the righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to Faith. (Rom 1:17)

The sin that so easily besets us, is lack of faith...  I believe.

I say this because the scripture says, that whatsoever is not of Faith is sin. (Rom 14:23)

And lack of Faith usually is associated with unbelief.

Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Should be our prayer...

Blessings,

Petro

You bring up an excellent point here brother!  At the heart of every sin lies a disbelief.  We fail to believe God when we believe a lie and sin.  My pastor says, as I have posted before, that "belief reflects obedience and obedience reveals belief."

Thanks for the post!
