MESSAGE OF FAITH
The advantages of an Intelligent Faith
They are innumerous. But the main one
has to do with conquering and preserving
the eternal Salvation of the soul.
How many have started well in the
faith, but as time goes by, they become
discouraged?
How many swim, swim but unfortunately
die on the beach?
Why is this? Because, one-way or another,
they were influenced by a feeling.
Whether it’s feeling spiritually weak,
feeling hurt by a brother in faith, a feeling
of guilt, feeling of doubt, feeling of
despise, this is, an infinity of feelings that
have nothing to do with biblical faith.
Biblical faith has to do solely with what
is written in the Word of God. If you feel
love, hate, desire to obey or disobey, it
doesn’t matter. What counts is what is
written. In other words: it has nothing to
do with feelings.
What God said or didn’t say must be
obeyed, whether we like it or not,
whether we feel like it or not…
It has been a huge mistake to associate
your faith, which is so rich, so precious
and so valuable with measly feelings, like
the ones of the corrupt and desperately
wicked heart. It would be as if you wore
the most beautiful clothes in the world to
go crawfishing in the swamp…
Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord
PROMISES:
The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon
Him (Jesus), the Spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the Spirit of counsel and
might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the
fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11.2
Where are there feelings of joy or sadness;
love or hate; regret or contempt in this
Sacred Text? On the contrary, God is
Wisdom, Understanding, Council, Might,
Knowledge and Fear!
When in church, he “feels” strong in the,
but outside he feels weak. This means
that the person whose faith is based on
what he feels or doesn’t feel proves that
his faith depends on feelings, and not
on the obedience to the Word of God. It
means that the faithful was never born of
the Spirit.
Through the prophet, the Lord said to
Israel:
“And I will give you shepherds according
to My heart, who will feed you with
knowledge
and
understanding.”
Jeremiah 3:15
