By unpacking the meanings of the metaphors, you’ll discover God’s methods and His nature in ways you’ve not likely thought of before.

Download or read book The Journey to Faith written by David J. Bernstine and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For even the most casual of Bible readers and/or students we are compelled to arrive at the conclusion that faith is not something that we are instantly enabled to obtain nor even boldly declare that recent experience warrants that we possess. There is obviously a clear declaration in Scripture that there is a Journey TO Faith. Cease attempting to pacify God and set out on your Journey TO Faith which pleases God (see Hebrews 11:6). Extracted from a section of the life of Abraham, the "father of the faithful," the 6 steps (itinerary check points) which this book highlights as seen in God's Book of Beginnings (Genesis), is as Godly-rewarding for each reader as the journey was for Abraham. As you set out on your journey, you too will discover that making a U-Turn on your journey is not an option. But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, AND that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11: 6 (NKJV)

Download or read book The Righteousness of Faith According to Luther written by Hans J. Iwand and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Joachim Iwand's 1941 monograph, The Righteousness of Faith According to Luther, is an important contribution to contemporary appreciation of Luther's theological significance for today. Although Iwand wrote his study three decades after the beginning of the Luther Renaissance, it nevertheless developed some of the central insights of Luther scholarship during that period. Two concepts--in particular, promise and simultaneity--are crucial to an appreciative understanding of Luther's doctrine of justification. The language of promise presents justification to the believer as a reality that has yet to arrive or is hidden under present reality. And the language of simultaneity attests that humans remain throughout their lives one in the same, sinner and saint. This beautiful translation by Randi H. Lundell makes Iwand's down-to-earth presentation of the doctrine at the heart of Luther's theology, at long last, available to English-language readers.
