The obedience of faith: multiple perspectives

The obedience of faith:

  • The obedience that results from faith — If you trust God this changes your behavior
  • The obedience that is bare faith — God commands you to trust him alone for salvation so, when you do so, you are obeying.
  • The obedience that is real faith — To trust someone as an all-sufficient savior and lord is to embrace following Him rather than other so-called gods and lords (faith as trust)
  • The formal obedience that is faith — Confessing the truth rather than the lies of the world (faith as verbal formula)
  • The faithfulness of faith — Continuing in faith rather than giving in to temptations to doubt or trust others (faith through time)
  • What else?

    Just to keep up the parallelism, you might want to call the last “the faithful obedience of faith.”

    Thanks, that’s helpful stuff.
