Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Excellence of Faith is a treatise that aims to discuss this all-important subject from multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive overview that would benefit the body of Christ. The subject of faith, although commonly discussed, is perhaps not fully appreciated, understood, and applied by many Christians. The book goes at length to provide many definitions, explanations, expositions, and practical application of biblical principles of faith. The book begins with some apologetics of the Christian faith as the faith and our most holy faith. Part of the impetus for writing the book is the phrase the just shall live by faith, which is repeated four times throughout the Bible. Sufficient attempt was made at a comprehensive expos of the phrase and using it as the basis for discussing foundational truths and principles of faith. Pleasing God and living a victorious and profitable/productive Christian life are elucidated as part of the purpose and necessity for faith. The book extensively discusses the personalization/ownership of our faith as well as the tangibility and reality of faith as a spiritual force to be employed in a believers life on daily basis. Some heroes of faith, based on Hebrews 11, were examined. The book also discussed the concept of types and levels/degrees/measures of faith as well as factors that can hinder our faith. The aim here is to be aware and then develop mitigating strategies against limits to our faith. In living by faith, understanding of certain key/important attributes from the scriptures are discussed extensively. Although an invisible force, biblical faith is always followed by a corresponding action of visible good works. Faith in practice, therefore, always produces a manifestation for all to see. This truth was also discussed in the book. The book concludes with how faith is acquired, developed, maintained, and matured as the believer grows to become like the Lord Jesus Christ as well as the emphasis on the truth that biblical manifestation of faith always works by Gods love.

Download or read book The Doctrine of the Person of Jesus Christ written by H. R. Mackintosh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Person of Jesus Christ It may not be unnecessary to inform the reader that the present book is designed chiefly as a student's manual, which, with a fair measure of completeness, should cover the whole field of Christology. This so far excuses two of its more prominent features: the large space given to historical narration, and a certain frequency of allusion to modern literature. My purpose was not simply to formulate the results reached by a single mind - results, as I give fair warning, in no sense original or extraordinary - but also to furnish what might be considered a competent guide to the best recent discussion, in this country and Germany. If these pages should have helped any student to take his bearings in the world of Christological thought, or suggested fruitful lines of new inquiry, their object will have been fully achieved. Nothing in the book, it is probable, may seem so indefensible as the more or less speculative tone of the concluding chapters. Some, I fear, will judge that, all protestations notwithstanding, I have added one more to the vain attempts to explain in detail how God became, for our redemption, incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ. I am conscious that a problem of method is indicated here on which opinions are widely divergent, and are likely to remain so. To abstain from all efforts to reach a constructive synthesis of the data which faith apprehends would, as is known, have been in harmony with well-marked and ably championed tendencies of our time.

Download or read book The Faith of Jesus Christ written by Michael F. Bird and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Faith of Jesus Christ represents an attempt to grapple with one of the most perplexing problems in Pauline studies, namely that of the phrase pistis christou. Issues of considerable theological import hinge on how we interpret it (does it mean "faith in Christ" or "the faithfulness of Christ"?). The topic is now well rehearsed in contemporary scholarship and this volume sheds new light on the question by presenting rigorous exegetical studies from both sides of the debate. It also brings creative new proposals to bear on the problem, and orients the discussion in the wider spectrum of historical, biblical, and systematic theology. The Faith of Jesus Christ represents the most penetrating and comprehensive attempt to date to grapple with the significance of Jesus' faithfulness and obedience for Christian salvation and the extent to which it is represented in key biblical texts.

Download or read book The Assurance of Faith written by Louis Berkhof and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE are some subjects that have a perennial appeal for all serious-minded Christians. And among these the subject of the assurance of faith or of salvation occupies an outstanding place. When our preachers address their churches on that vital topic, they may be sure of a goodly number of interested hearers, who are anxious for a description of the foundation of their hope, and who long for a word that will help them to obtain that blessed assurance and will thus fill their hearts with the joy of salvation. It is true that many professing Christians to-day will not subscribe to this sentiment. In their estimation one who undertakes to speak or write on the subject of assurance is hopelessly behind the time and altogether out of tune with the present trend of religious thought. They do not all formulate their objections in the same way, but they all agree in the desire to ignore or at least, to soft-pedal the question of assurance. Some emphasize the fact that the character of the Christian battle has changed and the battleground has been shifted. Time was when the Bible was accepted as the infallible Word of God and Bible truths were taken at their face value. Whatever doubts were entertained concerned one's being in a state of grace. The battle was fought single-handed in the citadel of the heart. But now the trustworthiness of the Bible is called in question and even the great verities of faith, such as the incarnation, the virgin birth, the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, and his physical return in glory, are not only doubted but boldly denied. This calls for a battle in the open field, in which all those who recognize Jesus Christ as their Lord should stand shoulder to shoulder. The struggle to maintain the fundamentals of the Christian religion is so all-absorbing that it really leaves no time for the question of personal assurance. Far more important issues are at stake and must be settled before this question can really mean anything.
Download or read book The Theology of the Faith written by P. P. Mckenna and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of faith, although one of absorbing interest at all times, has, perhaps, in recent years, given rise to more discussion than at any time in hlstory. Differences of opinion in connexion with it at the present time turn not so much upon the truths of faith-upon what men are bound to believe and what they are to reject as upon the nature of faith itself. The great Encyclical of our Holy Father the Pope on the errors of Modernism (Pascendi) brings this fact prominently before us. Yet these errors could not have arisen if men had not previously rejected certain fundamental and supernatural truths, and amongst them the authority of the Catholic Church. If the elements which go to make up Divine faith are overlooked by the persons who discuss this question or write upon it, errors most fatal and disastrous are certain to appear, and those errors will, in many cases, be so far-reaching in their effects as ultimately to lead to the complete overthrow of all revealed religion. We have, therefore, devoted the opening chapter of the treatise to an explanation of the virtue of faith, its supernatural character, and its influence on the faculty in which it inheres. We have tried to explain how it is acquired, and the various ways in which it may be lost, and also suggested to the reader some of the differences which exist between it and the moral virtues. In referring to the nature and causes of faith we are reminded that the Vatican Council (Cap. 3, De Fide) teaches that faith is a supernatural virtue by which, under the inspiration and help of God's grace, we believe that those things which were revealed by Him are true, not because their intrinsic truth is perceived by the natural light of reason, but on account of the authority of God who reveals them and who can neither deceive nor be deceived; that to secure a reasonable assent to faith God has willed that the external arguments for revelation should be joined to the internal assistance of the Holy Spirit; and that those external arguments are, in the first place, miracles and prophecy which, since they go to demonstrate God's onmipotence and infinite knowledge, are unquestionable signs of Divine revelation and are also suited to the intellectual capacities of all.

Download or read book The Assurance of Things Hoped for written by Avery Dulles and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith, since the earliest Christian theologians, has been regarded as the fundamental Christian virtue--the prerequisite for hope, charity, and good works. In this book, Avery Dulles examines the biblical foundations and history of theological reflection on faith, from the Greek and Latinfathers to such modern giants as Tillich, Rahner, and Lonergan. Further, Dulles presents his own systematic synthesis, reflecting on such topics as the nature and object of faith; the certitude of faith; the birth, growth, and loss of faith; and faith and salvation. The result is a refreshinglyrelevant theology of faith for our day.
Download or read book Credible Christianity written by Hugh Montefiore and published by Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Credible Christianity teaches the basics of the Christian faith in wholly contemporary terms. According to Hugh Montefiore, the way in which we express Christian doctrine today must be different from the way it was expressed in the early days of the Christian church. If the Christian faith is to be credible today - indeed, says Montefiore, if it is to survive - it must be expressed in the images and thought forms of today's world as well as in contemporary language." "Surveying the full scope of Christian doctrine - including creation, anthropology, Christology, theology proper, ecclesiology, and eschatology - this volume offers a freshly inculturated presentation of Christianity's foundational beliefs, replete with well-considered references to the natural and human sciences. Montefiore's timely restatement of theology will help assure that the Christian faith remains credible to a church approaching the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
