Beschreibung
Some would ask, "What is faith?" when the real question is Who and not what. The Bible says faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). But here's what faith isn't. Faith is not a concept or idea. Faith is a person and His name is Jesus Christ. Just as God is love according to the word of God, Jesus is faith according to the word of God. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). "It", which is the word of God, not only reveals that the word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, but that His name is the word. This book will also testify of the coming of faith who was sent by His Father. This writing is to share the wonderful revelation of not what but who faith is. In lieu of this revolution, one must come away with a different perspective because what we see matters and our perception is everything. How we perceive a thing determines how we conceive a thing. How we conceive a thing will in fact determine how I believe a thing and how we believe a thing will determine how we receive a thing. Upon the revealing of faith being a person, we must come to the conclusion that we cannot benefit from someone we have not respect for. The scriptures tell us that Jesus's own people perceived him not (John 1:11). That is because they had the wrong perception of who He was. With wrong perceiving comes wrong conceiving which produces wrong believing. This makes it almost impossible to receive from someone we've placed in such regard. Our faith and belief in a person or a group of people will always determine our level of respect for them. Here is the conclusion of the whole matter. We cannot benefit from someone we have not respect for. One must respect one's position if they are going to benefit from the power of that position. Therefore, if you intend to draw from the blood that flows through Emmanuelle's veins, respect for Emmanuelle is definitely required.
