Whose Faith Do You Desire, Theirs or His?

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word (plural of, rhema) of Christ."  (Romans 10:17, NASB)

 

A better translation is, "So the faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the words (reematos) of Christ."  There are many "faiths" out there today, just waiting to devour some unsuspecting Believer.  The only safeguard is, "the words of Christ." 

 

You have probably heard much teaching over the years concerning the difference between Logos and Rhema.  There is really little difference.  One is the Word of God; the other are, "the words of God."  John 3:34 says, "For He whom God has sent speaks the words (rhema) of God."  The Logos is Jesus Christ, the "Word of God," the Heart, Will, Purpose, Father's expression extended to you.  Jesus is the Only One of Whom it is written, "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God," that is, from the beginning, not in time, but in the Eternal, the Infinite.  The, "Rhema of Christ," in our text is the Words of the Logos.  

 

Many take the Rhema teaching and suit it to their own purposes, which is just to take people away from the Bible and accept some particular "rhema word" to fit their, "Listen to me; I have a fresh word from God."  Beware!  There is only one Word of God----- Jesus Christ.  Whatever words I use in life are really quite meaningless if they do not point people to, or bring people to Jesus Christ.  Remember this?--- "If you abide in Me, and My words (yes, it is, rhema) abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."  This does not come from sending your tithes and offerings to some TV "rhema" person.  Faith, that is, "the faith of Jesus Christ," and the, "it shall be done for you," comes from one source and once source only, "hearing the reematos of Christ." 

 

"Thought for the day:"  If you want the faith of which we are speaking, turn off the television and------------------------------ Get out that Bible!

 

Father, in Jesus' Name, help me to abide, "in the truth." Amen.
