If we do not believe without doubt, aren't we the same as unbelievers?
Faith produces action.
If we believed what Jesus said we would do as he commanded.
I have never met a person who obeys Jesus' commands.
By logical deduction then, I have never met anyone with faith in Jesus.
Hence, I Have never met anyone saved by that faith.
Jesus said that we shall know the truth(he is the truth) and the truth shall set us free. directly after saing that he says that anyone who sins is a slave to sin and that as long as he is a slave he has no permanent place in the family.
I've never met anyone free from sin.
In 1 John it says anyone who is born of God overcomes the world, and that the victory that overcomes the world is their faith.
Jesus said that for someone to see the kingdom of god he must be born again.
If we do not beleive without a doubt(have faith), we are not born of god(born again), and aren't saved.
I've been thinking that maybe we should humble ourselves with mourning, prayer, and fasting in order to recieve God's grace, which is the faith we so earnestly covet. As it is written "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." "You have been saved by grace through faith - and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God."
I admit that I also need to do this. May God have mercy.
Or maybe this is just stupid logic.
