FAITH (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

< ... UNDER CONSTRUCTION .. >

Matthew 13:58:- "And He (God Jesus) did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief."

Matthew 17:20:- "He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."" (Not to confuse with prosperity / health-wealth gospel!)

Apostle Paul writes:-

Romans 7:15-20: "For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me."

Apostle Paul also calls himself chief of sinners.

... earthly tent ... groaning ... till finally glorious bodies ...

Is it because we are always to remain dependent on God? Each and every day, we are to live on his abundant mercies.
