Biblical Faith
Eddie Snipes
Romans 8:28-31
Most people have heard teaching on the biblical principles of faith in the past; however, this topic is essential for the Christian walk and should be revisited from time to time. It is good to restudy important biblical topics and approach them from a fresh perspective. There are many errors born out of a misunderstanding of true biblical faith and since faith in Christ is the foundation of the Christian life, we will attempt to grow in our understanding of faith.
As a preamble to this study, I want to look at two passages that I believe lay the groundwork for faith.
Romans 8:28-31 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Psalm 139:13-16 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Is it true that God sees the end from the beginning?
Is it true that God preordained everything to work together according to God's purposes so that nothing can be against our ultimate goal -- to conform to the image of Jesus Christ?
Do we believe the Bible's claims in Psalm 139 that God fashioned our days before we were born?
So what does this all mea ...
