The Bible's Defintion of Believing.

Posted : 12 Jun, 2012 12:15 PM

Initially I will give dictionary definitions that agree with bible accounts, and the definition that the lord gave me years ago, that agrees with what you hear and see in the word of God.



To Believe is an action that confirms what you have heard to be the truth. or saying it like this, acting as if what you heard is true



The revelation Jesus gave to man in the parable of the sower of how the kingdom of God operates is all referring to the real man, that is made in the image of God The inward man, The Spirit, which is referred to as the heart.



The Hearing

The Believing

The mixture of faith with the first two steps are done by the INWARD MAN.



MAN DOES HEAR WITH THE NATURAL MAN BUT IT IS TOWARDS THE INWARD MAN EVERY TIME.



Here is a very clear picture of that man and in this example you see those that are with God and those that are under the devil.



Lk16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Lk16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

Lk16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man�s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Lk16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham�s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Lk16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Lk16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Lk16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Lk16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Lk16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father�s house:

Lk16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Lk16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Lk16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Lk16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.



Notice these men, everything you see them doing is the same you see and hear man doing in the body, when Jesus speaks of the heart in the parable of the sower he is speaking of this inward man



This man is to hear

This man is to believe

This man is to act in and of faith.



If this man does not, chooses not to hear the gospel just as is taught here, is in eternal damnation because of his prior choices.



This entire revelation is in the three accounts of the parable of the sower and this is the way and the only way the kingdom of God operates upon the earth.



One last thought all that are in this teaching are in the spiritual state as from the fall, these are the hearts of men before being born again.
