- Reasoning Faith...Pt 2 of 2
You have to have reasoning faith. And then even greater faith to encourage others to accept this truth that they may be free. Justification makes us free from the guilt of sin. Sanctification makes us free from the bondage of corruption. Reasoning makes us free from invalid assumptions. Free from spiritual enemies. Free from prejudices, mistakes, and false notions, which entangle the soul. Free to be restored to the government of God. The mind, by admitting the truth of Christ in the light and power, is vastly enlarged, and has scope and compass given it, is greatly elevated and raised above things of sense, and never acts with so true a liberty as when it acts with truth acquired through reasoning faith with every word of God. Those who accept every truth of God have the freest reasonings that are guided by faith, and those are people of free thought, whose thoughts are captivated and brought into obedience to Christ. Reasoning faith preserves truth! the Truth Consider the wisdom afforded by viewing all things by faith. It affects how we interact with others. It shapes our understanding of the past, the present, and tomorrow. We reason in our faith to make full commitment to God, trusting wholeheartedly to every experience He places us in. We become united with His chosen because of this committed faith in the truth. This union is a physical substance that serves as evidence of the ultimately unverifiable. By faith we are disposed to ascend in allegiance to the Lord and to His cause and purpose. And the wonderful aspect of such a proposition is this…this faith we can have in others. Our experiences will be in physical reality and spiritual reality. Where there is difference of opinion or even controversy, the core foundational faith in the word of God will remove all arbitrariness. Take a moment to reason with this truth. There is this collection of sixty-six separate writings by a variety of authors upon which a determined people place reasoned faith…why?...because they believe in God and know that this collection is the revealed word of God for mankind. It records the dealings of God with humanity and the reactions, the responses of humanity to the revelation received. Here is what gives faith its power – it is the work of our reasoning and will, but also with the intervention of the Holy Spirit specifically granted, supported, and gratuitously offered by God. God expects us to reason with, to investigate, to study with intense scrutiny and debate every word. The problem with most is that they know not how to reason with God. For certain we hear the words written, but God ain’t through talking yet. He has more of Himself to reveal to us. The Holy Spirit has much to say that He hears from God. God gave counsel to a woman messenger. He has stars who are commanded to bring light to the world. Our faith is heavily impacted by written words. God actually specifically asks people throughout scripture to write things down. We move from truth discovery writing things by hand... through writing. There's a fascinating connection between our brains and written words. Writing things by hand actually boosts our memory. Words written in agreement with scripture, instruct and awaken and delight and transform people into obedient worshipers of Christ. Writing must become an instrument in the hand and under the power of the Holy Spirit. It's like God thought of this stuff before making us. The word of God engages both faith and reason. Every other aspect of our life on earth is different from our interaction with the Divine. When we come to reason with God we are connecting with a concept that we were purposed to bring pleasure to. God-given light of reason to our minds is to establish truth that is free from internal contradictions. Reasoning faith renders the regular avenues of intellectual attainment and marginal things that may dominate the mind as pale in comparison to the pursuit of divine revelation. God’s invitation to reason is for proclamation of truth which may be independent of what any of us think. Yet, with reasoning faith, appropriate response is instructed by the Holy Spirit. When we come to understand this reasoning faith we come to God not attempting to penetrate His height, for in no way can our understanding compare. We come by faith seeking to understand to the extent He purposes in His truth. And His truth, we both believe, and love. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. {Isaiah 1:18} Reasoning faith deepens our experience, our learning, our knowledge, when presented with situations in that we are able to draw upon foundational principles that intertwine both in a beneficial way. Some knowledge can only be arrived at by reason, and some only by faith. We must understand the balance. Do you need a reason to believe in God or do you know by faith that He is God? Reason makes certain assumptions; faith is coherent with presentiment. What comes after is supported by what has come before. Reasoning faith is a condition for arriving at a fully comprehensive, coherent, consistent, and true principle. There is an important relationship between reason and faith. Neither can exist separate from one another. God says come to reason and with that invitation must be faith in God. Reasoning faith shores up our strength of testimony. Faith informed by external belief and reasonable evidence is powerful. Jesus speaks of empowered faith when he says, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Reason and faith have each been considered to be sources of justification for conscientious belief. Reason properly employed and faith properly understood, will never produce contradictory or competing claims. God’s true people possess a domain of thought rightly governed by faith, asserting that all meaningful and truthful statements and ideas are accessible to thorough examination by reasoning. How powerful becomes the mind when reasoning faith is the source of development for every thought. Faith and reason are both sources from the authority of God upon which beliefs can rest. Reason intellectual, moral, visual, or spiritual is understood as the principles for a structured procedure of inquiry, whether intellectual, moral, visual, or spiritual. Faith involves a stance toward an assertion that is not, at least presently, demonstrable by occasion. So, faith is a kind of attitude of trust or assent. As such, it is ordinarily understood to involve an act of will or a commitment on the part of the believer. Faith involves a belief that makes either an implicit or explicit reference to a transcendent source. The basis for a person’s faith usually is understood to come from the authority of revelation. And revelation is either direct or by infusion based on the testimony of an other. Reasoning faith comes from the fact that the revelation or set of revelations on which most beliefs are based, is usually described and interpreted in sacred pronouncements, either in an oral principle or undisputed writings, backed by divine authority. God tells us to reason. We are to have a good reason for what we believe, and we are to be ready always to share that testimony with other people. So, we attempt to show unbelievers that our belief in the scriptures is reasonable, justified, and logically and spiritually sound. But what of those who read the words and are not able to understand? Are they to live by reason or by faith? Are they supposed to rely upon their intellect, drawing rational conclusions, rejecting those things that don’t make sense? Or are they to accept the teachings of scripture without regard to logic and reason, even if it does not make any sense? If God says it, that’s it! Faith is not believing what you don’t know. Faith is strongly warranted confidence. It is not wishful thinking. It’s a confident expectation: the kind of confidence we have through reasoning with the truths of scripture. Biblical faith is the act of believing in something unseen for which we do have a good reason. Every word that God has ever spoken has been demonstrated. Reason is a means given us that allows us to draw conclusions and inferences from other information, such as the information God has given us in His Word. We reason from the principles of God’s word. You believe you are saved by faith…what’s your reason? In reasoning faith our unquestionable starting point must be with God’s word and not what we think. In order to reason about anything we must have faith that there are laws of common sense which correctly prescribe the correct chain of reasoning chain of reasoning. Since laws of logic cannot be observed with the senses, our confidence in them is a type of faith. Laws are an expression of the self- consistent nature of God. We should not conclude from this that we can think exactly as God thinks; after all, He is infinite and we are finite, He knows all things, and we must learn of things. Nonetheless, we are able to line up our thinking with God’s nature and God’s word. That is why we have the Holy Spirit. That we do not distort the truth. The bible makes sense. And that is a good reason for our faith. We study the bible to show ourselves approved of God. There is a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all our reasoning power comes. We could not be right and He wrong any more than the sky could fall. When any argue against Him they are arguing against the very power that makes them able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch cutting off the branch you are sitting on you are sitting on. Faith holds on to things our reason has accepted as truth, in spite of our lack of understanding. The battle is between faith and reason on one side; and emotion and opinion on the other. Faith comes before reason and then reason allows faith to grow. Faith enables a believer to understand further truths that could not be discovered through reason alone. Both faith and reason lead us to the one Truth who is God. Reasoning faith is the extension of spiritual dialogue. God’s people commit to dialogue to show the worth of revelation. All expressions of truth as manifested in the word of God are to foster authentic, good, and mutual enhancement in the unity of the faith. The united endeavor of reasoning faith will enable people to come to the full measure of their humanity created in the image and likeness of God, renewed even more marvelously, after sin, in Christ, and called and purposed to shine forth in the light of the Spirit. God’s people are challenged to be a community whose members discover truth by ardent development of faith and by rigorous exercise of reason. In this challenge important questions are considered. And so God counsels us to plead together, putting Him in remembrance that we may be justified. Christ is looking for faith. His Father wants us to reason with Him! When we give Him sound, spiritual reasons for our requests, He can gauge very accurately our growth in grace, knowledge, and faith. He can see if we are still carnal and self-centered, or if we are showing love for our brethren. Let us reason faithfully with God according to His will.
- Reasoning Faith...Pt 1 of 2
God made our minds for knowledge & understanding God made us for Himself. He made our minds for gaining knowledge and understanding that we might avoid ignorance. Faith is a powerful force in the life of the believer. It is an experienced and mysterious inclination of the mind. Where faith touches the behavior of the adherent, though the effects are profound, it is difficult to articulate. Now know this by reasoning faith. All things that are possible and all things that are impossible have been determined by counsel. And in that truth, nothing of God can change. Every change that occurs is determined and the change is for our reasoning that our faith may be that of Christ Jesus. This is the priceless truth of the sovereignty of God. From the beginning we not import something that does not come from the word of God. This matter is far too serious, and touches on so many painful realities, that we dare not trust ourselves here to come up with truth without being told by God Himself. God says “I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.” So the issue in this writing is the uniqueness of God among all the beings of the ever creation. He is the highest all by Himself. No one is like Him. The issue is what it means to be God. When something is happening, or something is being said or thought, and God responds, “I am God!”, the point He is making is this: you’re acting like you don’t know what it means for me to be God. Reasoning faith is that of God. It’s at the heart of His God-ness. It is He who says, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure”. God knows what these doings will be, long before they are done. All of our reasoning faith must be in His foreknowledge. And the way He declares His foreknowledge is by declaring His fore-counsel and His fore- purposing. Which means that the reason God knows there will be a change in anything is because He plans the change and accomplishes it. He purposes them and He performs them and He takes responsibility. By the sovereignty of God: God has the rightful authority, the freedom, the wisdom, and the power to bring about everything that He intends to happen. And God purposes it therefore, everything He intends to come about, does come about. Which means, God plans and governs all things. When God says “I change not”, that which is a change is His determined purpose already known. Even a repenting of what He thought to do is not a change to Him. But it is the change purposed for us to know Him better by faith as we reason with His purpose for doing it. Now, if that seems too complicated, so that you don’t think I am expressing a private opinion of my own, search and reason with other scripture purporting change to see if they were determined in counsel. You ready?…faith in a God who says He changes not where the word says He is a Spirit and yet a body of flesh was prepared Him. Now you have to have a consecrated attitude, divine giftedness, a humble mindset, to accept this strongly transformative miracle. It is by reasoning that God affirms my faith. I believe that God, from all eternity, in order to display the full extent of His glory for the eternal and ever- increasing satisfaction of all who love Him, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His will, freely and unchangeably ordain and foreknow whatever comes to pass. I believe that God upholds and governs all things — from galaxies to subatomic particles, from the forces of nature to the movements politicians of nations, and from the public plans of politicians to the secret acts of solitary persons — all in accord with His eternal, all-wise purposes to glorify Himself, yet in such a way that He never compromises truth, nor ever condemns a person unjustly; but that His ordaining and governing all things is compatible with the moral accountability of all persons created in His image. I believe that God’s election is an unconditional act of free grace which was given through His Son Christ Jesus before the world began. By this act God chose, before the foundation of the world, those who would be delivered from bondage to sin and brought to repentance and saving faith in His Son Christ Jesus. These are His called to election by and for His purpose. As we reason, we may be overwhelmed at the extent of God’s sovereignty because it is higher than our understanding. But by faith we will praise His power and grace, and bow with glad submission to the absolute will of God. We will see in the sovereignty of God our only hope for life in our deadness, our only hope for answers to our prayers, our only hope for success in our personal witness, our only hope for meaning in our suffering. And we will know insistantly that there is a better hope. God has given us a will. How we use it makes our eternal difference. The divine providence orders and directs those things which to us are perfectly casual and unexpected. Nothing comes to pass by chance, nor is an event determined by a blind fortune, but every thing by the will and counsel of God. What we have, neither eye nor hand in God is intimately concerned in and with. Think about when we make solemn appeals to God for the deciding of a matter of the moment which could not otherwise be at all, or not so well decided, God must be eyed in it, by prayer, that it may be disposed rightly and by consenting, and accepting in it when it is arranged, being satisfied that the hand of God is in it, and that hand directed by His infinite wisdom. All the disposals of providence concerning our affairs we must look upon to be the directing of our lot, the determining of what we referred to God, and we must be reconciled to them accordingly. There are no events so small that God does not rule for His purposes. Let there be no man-exalting illusion as though we are the decisive cause for a purpose. God removes and sets up kings God alone will have that supreme role. He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He changes events as they were determined to be changed for purpose. And for our understanding of His purposes He calls us to come to reason with Him, and for this reason, God gifted us with the measure of faith. I pray that we know this: we will never be sovereign, but we will be governed. When the nations came to do their absolute worst, namely the murder of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, they had not slipped out of God’s control, but were doing His sweetest bidding at their worst moment. The worst sin that ever happened was in God’s determined purposed plan, and by that sin, sin died. There may have been a thousand horrible things in our life. But if today we are moved to treasure Christ as our Lord and Savior, we can write over every one of those horrors the words “what was thought evil against me; God meant it unto good” . Our reasoning faith is real. We stand in awe of the sovereign authority and freedom and wisdom and power of God. We never trifle with life as though it were a small or light affair. We know we are not our own. We are calm in these days of great upheaval because faith belongs to God, and by reason of His love He has given us of this faith.
- Obedient Faith...Pt 2 of 2
There is no salvation, no eternal life, without obedience! Life was brought to light through obedience to the faith. Understand what obedience to the faith is. The faith of Christ is the law of trusting fully in what he has done. He is the end of the law. Obedience to the law prepares us to receive the promises by faith in Jesus Christ. Without it, no sanctification can take place, for we, through the Spirit, eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Righteousness brings hope, but it is impossible to be righteous in any other way than through obedience to the faith, because the righteous shall live by faith. In Christ we receive both grace and truth, which God is able to give because by faith, we are crucified with Christ and we live as Christ lives in us. The faith of Christ is revealed to us in our human spirit and consciousness. The faith of Christ has its roots in God Himself. It is in perfect harmony with God’s reasoning, purpose, and His plans. And it is according to this faith that we are confident of God’s performance of work in us. We must believe and obey what the Spirit speaks to us and convicts us of in our inner being and in our conscience. This is what the bible calls obedience to the faith. God tells us there is this revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began. That mystery is the faith in the gospel, in the word. This thing has its roots in eternity before sin began. This is why we are told that faith comes by roots hearing and hearing by the word of God. Such a faith gives us a greater sense of strength and firmness about the word: its roots go back into eternity in the mind of God. The mystery made known through the prophetic writings in the old testament are revealed and explained in the new testament. And hearing this word prepares God’s people for the coming of Jesus. All designed to produce obedience of faith. The bible says we are justified by faith. We have peace with God through Jesus. This is a reality actually. In the court of God we are either justified or condemned. If He justifies us, it means that He has found in our favor and declared us to be just. We are found not guilty. Surprise! The indictment against all of us is that we are unrighteous. “None is righteous, no not one”. The indictment is true. The omniscient judge considers all factors and declares that we are not guilty as charged, but are in fact righteous, though everybody in the court knows that in our behavior and our attitudes we are sinners. How can this be? How can God justify the ungodly and be a just judge? God knows that we trust in Jesus alone as the ground and basis of our justification, not in anything we are, or do, or are helped to do, by God. Through this faith in Jesus alone, we are united to Christ so that we are in him. No condemnation. The key thing: we the key thing are in Christ Jesus. In Christ we are justified. Through faith we are united to Christ, and united to Christ we are justified. And being found in Christ, in the righteousness of Christ, or the obedience of Christ, or the righteousness of God in Christ, his righteousness is imputed to us. It is counted as ours. In other words, when God declares that we are righteous, there is a real basis for it in the righteousness of Christ. It’s not a pretense. It’s one thing to be forgiven when we are unrighteous. It is glorious and costly. It cost God the life of His Son. But it is another thing — an even more amazing thing — for God to say that the unrighteous are righteous. If forgiving the unrighteous is astonishing, calling the unrighteous righteous is gloriously divine. This is how grace can reign in us. This is what brings us closer to obedience to the faith. But our obedience is not the ground or the basis of our justification. Faith alone unites us to Christ, and Christ alone is the ground of our justification. Our obedience is the fruit of that faith. The faith that justifies is the kind of faith that, by the Holy Spirit, changes us. Thoughts, affections, and behaviors change. A new mind of obedience grows. And the reality of justifying faith is made manifest. Faith goes beyond what we can perceive with our physical senses, so it does not work by the rules of science. Faith allows us to believe that the invisible God can do what is physically impossible. In that sense, faith is built and grows on a spiritual plane, not a scientific one. That does not mean that observation is not a part of what the powerful Creator does. In fact, there is no contradiction or conflict between godly faith and true science. Since God Science is the study of God's creation is the Creator of all things, science is simply the study of His creation. We understand that the initial seed of faith is a gift of God and faith is the fruit that comes from using God’s Holy Spirit. And so, Jesus tells us to believe the gospel. But please do not think that our belief is some sort of achievement or virtue. That’s an expression of human pride. Obedience of faith is for the sake of Jesus’ name as it brings glory to God. Faith is the main thing and obedience is the consequence of faith. But faith and obedience are distinct. The bible says our faith is spoken of throughout the whole world and our obedience is come abroad unto all men. Everything about our faith and our obedience is entirely by what Jesus did for us. We lay our righteousness on the ground before him as filthy rags in order to come to him as his subjects so that we can benefit from the merits of his obedience. Ongoing obedience is the outworking of our salvation. It is not a subsequent thing; it is faith in its concrete expression. The obedience of faith is a trusting submission to Jesus the Lord, bowing the knee to him at the start and going on bowing the knee to him thereafter. The faith that God looks for in His people is the faith that exceeds the mental assent to the truthfulness of who Jesus is and what He did for us on the cross. Obedience comes from faith, and faith is made the substance of the truth and the evidence of the beauty and worth of Jesus in the gospel. Therefore, faith is the root of all Christ-exalting obedience, not just the fruit. Faith demands commitment at the level of our heart, but obedience demands commitment at the level of our doings. Faith requires us to have a deep conviction that God will keep His promises and do what He says He will do. Faith is greater than obedience. Genuine faith can only be demonstrated by obedient action. If we truly trust in God and His Word and promises, then we will fully obey Him. Anyone can say they have faith, but the people who actually live by faith will act in obedience to God no matter where God leads them. The faith which pleases God, is an obedient faith. “Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven”—this contains a warning all need to WARNING! ponder. The bible stresses man’s faith is unto salvation. The watchword of the Reformation was, “the just shall live by his faith.” But all of this recognizes that the expression of faith by the mouth must be joined with obedience to the divine command. There are individuals who stoutly affirm their belief in the bible “from cover to cover,” but whose “faith” is lettered, not worded, and this spiritually belies the lives they live. There is this principle we find in the scriptures, that profession of faith must be associated with obedience of mind and will. We only too often demand of God that we see the ending before we obey. Obedient faith trusts in God to bring about the consequences according to His purpose. We trust the One who gives the call, confident that He would not lead us astray. Abraham was told to go…he went. This same Abraham was later confronted with a greater crisis. God had given him a son in his old age. The covenant promises were wrapped up in the boy, and the father’s love for this child was overwhelming. But one day God told him to take the boy and go to a distant mountain, there to offer him as a sacrifice. a distant mountain “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest”—with every word there was a deeper thrust into Abraham’s heart. Surely in circumstances such as this he would have been justified in temporizing, in asking questions, in offering an alternative. None of this took place. Abraham obeyed without question, leaving early the next morning on his sad pilgrimage. But coupled with his forthright obedience there was also a sublime faith. “God will provide,” he told the questioning boy. Nevertheless, how sorely was that faith tested and how marvelous the will to obey. The altar was prepared, the son bound, the knife raised. As far as God was concerned, Abraham did offer up his son, and because of that faith, coupled with unswerving obedience, God renewed his covenant promises -“for I know that thou fearest God”. Sin came into the world because of disobedience and continues today, causing world chaos and our own personal predicaments. God has commanded us to love one another, but we disobey Him. He has commanded us as individual believers, to go into all the world and teach the gospel, but this is a secondary interest, not a consuming one, with most of us. At the personal level we believers often live in disobedience to God’s specific calls on us. We rationalize His commands and equivocate in our reactions to them so that with our lips we draw near, but in our hearts...we are far from Him. There are times when God does demand of us blind obedience, when our faith should impel us to courses of action the end result of which we cannot foresee; but where there is faith combined with obedience there is also rich blessing. The entire question of obedience is closely coupled with our prayer lives. Only too often we pray for guidance with the mental reservation that if we like the prospects we will go ahead. What a travesty on true faith! We cannot fool God. He knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts. He knows those reservations and often refuses to hear because we are actually putting Him to a test of our own devising. Never forget, the prayer of faith includes a willingness to obey, and this is not always easy. It is a lesson hard to learn but one we must not evade. Even our Lord, we are told, divested himself of his inherent rights as the Son and “learned obedience by the things which he suffered”. God does not exact obedience as a tyrant; He calls for it as an evidence of the reality of our faith. On the one hand, this is His rightful due; on the other, it is a demonstration for all to see that our faith is in the assurance of promises. Unquestionably God expects of us a faith which believes and an obedience which complies without question.
