Part 4
Summary:
Jesus alone author's faith.
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
God granted us faith.
God does not author faith, then require us to aceept it, or "choose to beieve in Him." That's the definition of contradiction!
Faith (persuasion) is not a decision we make; it's an experience God gives us. God is always cause, and our experience is always the effect. Reversing the order is anti-Christ.
If God alone authors faith, then You Had Nothing to Do With It.
(Please go to the Chapter 3 Appendix to see the additional 51 Scriptures, and my commentary, that further establish God alone authors faith. I can't encourage you enough to take a closer look at these texts.)
