Yet authentic faith that saves is not simply held inside. As we read in Romans 10:8 - But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach).
You sound like a philosopher who is trying to make sense of God's word.
It is an interesting idea, I am being a philosopher trying to make sense of God's word.
No I am a redeemed saint shouting His love and grace, His power to overcome, to reign in
our hearts and souls, find victory, to reach out and change us completely, reading of
defeated, scared, defeated individuals who give in to frustration, anger, selfishness as if
this is the promise of the cross.
The reason people are like frozen popsicals is because they have such a history of
unresolved conflicts and emotions, it holds them prisoner like a vice, where any movement
is painful, any statement of meaning or love is not allowed, where to be vulnerable is to
be jumped on and crushed. A child just says, Amen thank you Jesus, You are our Lord and
I will follow wherever you lead, because I trust you completely. Amen
I see what Jesus means by
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
Luke 4:18-19
Our past says say and do this and you will be punished and hurt.
Express yourself like this and all will go wrong
Jesus simply says, no walk in my love and will, Amen.
He is the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings Amen
