Faith- why was this the chosen vehicle God chose to come to Him?

[enoob57]

I have for sometime pondered the why God chose faith as the transport to His Presence...

As many of you here have wonderful gifts of insight that have enriched me-> so the purpose of this thread  

is to deepen my understanding of this precious gift which is born from out of His Word! 

 

This not questioning the authority of God -but- a child searching to know Him better by His Way of Doing!

 

Here is a list of the word faith in KJV Bible ... so if you do not have an exhaustive concordance 

you can use this to form you insight in this great topic!

There are 245 verse references to faith in the NT:

Is this whole post about faith?I can't wrap my mind around the rest of it

[Jerry1023]

Faith is evidence of things not seen".God is faith.we pray to him by faith.because we are not seen him physically.because he is a spirit and we believed that he heareth our prayers.without faith it's impossible to please God"

[enoob57]

Okay I will elucidate my hope in this thread... in each one of us we have faith that is developed by God's Word within us. 

As I know our Lord is without bounds thus each (that have been born of God's Spirit) has a unique aspect of this core value

called faith... Each of us will appear before The Lord Jesus and with the faith that we have born out of His Word 'IS' that

which will please Him

Heb 11:6
6 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.
NKJV

 

There is a reason God has chosen faith over all else -What do you Scripture wise believe God has done this?

God is faith

Hi Jerry! What do you mean by this?

 

The rest of the post leads my mind to this Scriptures

John 20:29

29 Jesus said to him,  "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

NKJV

1 Peter 1:6-9

6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith,

being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus

Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

9 receiving the end of your faith - the salvation of your souls.

NKJV

Love, Steven
