Faith!? A means to a measure of Spiritual-development!
Friend Jeff brought up the “issue” of Faith at the-“group” round-table
discussion, today.
The subject seems to be most worthy of
prayerful consideration; I like analogies.
“Faith”
is to Independent-Individual “Spiritual-development” as time is to expanding-space.
“Time” accommodates “space”-expansion. Space requires time for its increase; time
is an “empirical” Truth, such exists
on its own, even, absent space. End
(stop) time and space expansion also ends; it has no volition to go any further
absent time as there exists no
future.
So, too, with Faith! Faith! exists as an empirical Truth; it is not dependent on Spiritual-development
for its being but to develop “Spiritually” one must have Faith! Faith exists independent of any one developing their
spirituality. Religion (Faith!) is extremely personal!
Faith is an all or none proposition!---Simple (black and white)…you either have it, or
not!
Like expanding space is a measure (function) of time, spiritual-development
is a measure of sacred Faith! Time
and Faith exist independent of any resultant consequence of measure.
Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them: Because of your unbelief: verily I say unto you, if you have Faith as a grain of mustard seed ye
shall say unto this mountain Remove hence to yonder place and it shall remove
and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Amen!
A grain of mustard seed is 1 – 2 millimeters!
(A dime is “3” mm. thick.) Pretty tiny!
And---Jesus says, All you need
is Faith equal to one (1) grain the
size of a tiny mustard seed!
Faith is the eternal empirical (It exists! It is!)
It is not Faith that grows but,
rather, each Independent-Individual’s
measure determined by growth of Spiritual-development!
As we live our lives in Faith so
grows the measure of our development-of-spirit to be more Christ-like!
Absent Faith, which is Truth
(empirical) there can be no spiritual development. Spiritual development is dependent upon
sacred Faith as space expansion is dependent upon time!
If one lives: Love! Christian-generosity to all! Compassion! Charity! Hope! Godliness!---then…one
grows in Spiritual-development in
(and through) Faith! Absent Faith! No S-D!
Absent time---no…space
expansion!
Faith! is an empirical
Truth! Faith assures a measure of
growth in spiritual-development!
Such revelations are of God! And, they are the very quintessence
of God! revealed to man.
Such holy/sacred gifts are offered by God!
All we need is Faith to procure them.
Faith!
& Time!
Are gifts afforded each Independent-Individual! Just---simply…Believe!
That belief need be as small as the
miniscule mustard seed! The implementation/practice of the empirical (God) Truth
fosters a lifelong endeavor toward Spiritual-development!
Simple!
It is not the “quantity” of Faith that expands; Faith is empirical (Truth!). It is we who grow!
The exact measurement of that holy
growth is our Level of Spiritual-development!
And, just how might sinful/mortal man
measure any Level of Spiritual-development!?
Easy! The experienced value of Peace! In the -spirit! -soul! -mind! Amen!
And, how might we (people) know or
understand that proposition?
Again, easy! Virtue! Virtue is the
exemplar benefit of practiced (are you ready for it?) Faith!
Pray
(simple-humble) I to God on “empirical” gift-of-Faith! Spiritual-development growth:
Dear
Lord! God! Father! Son! & Holy Ghost!
I
Thank Thee for the sacred/holy Proposition
of Faith! toward Redemption/Salvation!
Help
sinful-I implement Faith time-practice
toward infinite-space Spiritual-development!
In Jesus holy name I humble pray!
Amen!
