If faith is God's gift, how can faith be stated as a condition to take what grace gives?
All don't have faith. Can those who don't have faith be blamed for not taking what grace gives?
Doesn't hebrews 11: 1 describe faith as the assurance (rather than a condition) that one possesses what grace has given?
To understand Faith you must understand the types of faith.
Faith that you car will start, and supernatural Faith are different.
Faith for salvation is free will, and God gave all people Free will.
He did not predestine our Salavation.
He did not predestine the fall in the garden , and He does not predestine sin.
The Faith God gives is Wisdom to know and recieve His limitless power.
To know who you are in the Kingdom of Heaven.
To know that Christ body and Blood has set us free from sin and death.
The knowalage is spiritual not earthly ,our adoption into God's Faith comes from salvation, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit .
You will never have the Faith of God without the Baptism of the Holy Spirit .
You will never be used for spiritual gifts without the Baptism , and you should never step into a pulpit either.
The natural man discernth not the things of God.
God gives Wisdom to believers who seek it.
God's Wisdom is the key to the Kingdom.
Proverbs 8: 12. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 14. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 15. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 17. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 18. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 19. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 20. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 21. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. 22. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 26. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28. When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30. Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
