Wednesday, October 22, 2003 Faith a Gift ....Geoff, I looked "Faith" up on Crossdaily (KJV) and did you know (according to that site) there are only two mentions of "faith" in the OT!!! Does that tell us anything?Faith is almost always spoken of in a growing way. Many times Jesus said to people, "Thy faith has made thee whole". Thus faith came before the healing. I think this is true for today, we need faith to be able to believe and trust that God can heal. (Heal, as in spiritual healing is what I am referring to here). Here is a verse that MIGHT mean a gift of sorts, but maybe not? 1 Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. And this verse hints at faith being gifted or given..... (delivered) Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. It also speaks of being taught faith. 1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. Well, I cannot find any more verses about it being a gift, (I suspect you found the only one!!) but it is obviously something which CAN be gifted. In personal conclusion, I am continuing to pray daily and more often for Faith to be bestowed on me. (and for my hayfever to abate :)))) AHHHHHHHCHOOOOOOOOO # posted by Caroline @ 7:07 am 0 comments
