The suffering of great faith. By faith we are justified, yet having faith requires action to receive justification Romans 2:14 the just shall live by faith Hab. 2:4 Romans 1:17
The word faith means those who believe trust have confidence. Yet also means fidelity and faithfulness. The Greek word Pistis inclines that faith is God's divine persuasion. Therefore it's distinct from human belief or confidence,yet involving it. The Lord however births faith in the yielding believer so they can know what he prefers. This is the persuasion of his will first John 5:4 & hebrews 11:1
Faith and faithfulness like the fruit of the Spirit is generated by God. We have a part to play. Yielding, willingness, being receptive. By this we are called to be set apart and to walk in faith not by sight. So action on our in proves Faith operation within. If faith within doesn't add up outwardly more faith is able to operate through the vessel through which prayer in yielding must be applied through the believer. This also could take correction, trials through the yielding and willingness.
Jesus said you shall know them by their fruits. The production of someone is the works of the spirit and or the works of the flesh. This is not faith alone this is them also walking in it. Demonstrating kingdom on earth. Faith it's self seals us within covenant which is the security deposit yet it will incline that people fall from faith which is God's divine persuasion. These are those who wants to live by faith yet broke covenant because they work not the Spirit by faith that is in them. Rather they work their fruit through the production of flesh. Producing their own will. Heeding to another doctrine!
The suffering of our great faith comes by seeing many witness themselves and others out of such faith. This is those confounded with in their face, trying to achieve it by themselves. Works of the spirit is produced by our faithfulness. Yielding, willingness and being receptive in God's will- "Faith" Divine persuasion. In other words we must also walk it out with him. For an example Enoch was a man of faith and he walked with God.
Second Samuel 7:13-15
"He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. If He will commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the Rohde of men and with stripes of the children of men. But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul whom I put away before thee. "
The difference between David and Saul was the repented heart and the willingness to seek God's persuasive will. Saul was a pleaser of himself and others, David was a man after God's own heart!
Those who are saved may break the covenant, which is a violation or a sin against God. But grace and mercy is given when repentance is shown. Using the heart for chastising and correction. This is the reason of why David was king he showed a repentant heart.
Second Timothy 3: 2-3 for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, having no self control, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
The word trucebreakers means "implacable"
It means not to be bound by a truce. The truce that Christ brought was peace. He was the libation sacrifice used for making a covenant. Yet these people who are trucebreakers or breakers of the covenant by sinning against God! On able to be reproved, and or corrected and or having a repentant heart. They are on able to be pleased by gods grace and mercy therefore and placeable having no place in the kingdom of God.
