| Galatians 3:23 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, bound until faith should afterwards be revealed. [Until faith has come, everyone is obligated to keep the law that is on every man's heart, Rom 2:11-16. Faith that frees from the law comes with the receipt of the fruit of the Spirit, against which is no law, Gal 5:22-23, which is the gift of God and by revelation provided by Jesus himself. From the Word of the Lord within, "until you witness receiving faith from Christ, you are under the law. There are no laws when you are under complete control of the spirit; you walk in love in obedience as prompted — you don't walk in restricted flesh."] | Hebrews 12:2 2 Turn you eyes away from other things and fix them on Jesus, the author and finisher [perfecter] of our faith,2 who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. [By revelations to you Jesus authors your faith, increases your faith, and finally perfects your faith, until you attain salvation, (freedom from sin), and later union with Christ and God. From the Word of the Lord within: "Faith is a series of revelations." You sit and wait on God, listening, watching, and then obeying. His spoken words heard impart the life of God into your heart, John 6:63. You grow in faith with each revelation received. Your faith is perfected through suffering in various trials.] | ||||||||
