Author (Hebrews 12:2)

  Author, Originator, Inaugurator, Leader, Pioneer, Forerunner.
Author, Originator, Inaugurator, Leader, Pioneer, Forerunner.
  All the overcoming saints in the Old Testament are only witnesses of faith,
Whereas Jesus is the Author, Jesus is the Author of faith.
He is the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith.
In our natural man we have no, we have no believing, we have no believing ability.
  We do not have faith by ourselves.
The faith by which we are saved
Is the precious faith that we have received,
  we have received, we have received from the Lord.

  When we look unto Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit
Transfuses us with Himself, with His believing element.
Then, spontaneously, a kind of believing arises in our being,
And we have the faith to believe, we have the faith to believe in Him.
  This faith is not of ourselves but of Him who imparts
Himself as the believing element into us that He may believe for us.

"We do not have faith by ourselves.

The faith by which we are saved

Is the precious faith that we have received, we have received, we have received from the Lord."

Amen!
