We do not need FAITH to know that we are a sinner; but we do need FAITH to know that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
Thank you Jesus for the Holy Spirit convicted FAITH.
John 16:8
~ And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 16:10
~ of RIGHTEOUSNESS, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
The Holy Spirit convicts us of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus.
We do not need FAITH to know that we are a sinner; but we do need FAITH to know that we are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus.
This FAITH is not natural but supernatural. This FAITH comes by hearing, hearing by the words of Christ.
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
That is why we need to hear and keep on hearing the Gospel of Christ/the Word of Christ/the Message of Grace.
We do not need FAITH to know that we are a sinner; but we do need FAITH to know that we are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus.
This faith is to BELIEVE and God see us as a doer of the word...
James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.
The doer of the word is the one who BELIEVE the word of Christ/the Gospel of Christ/the Grace message.
