Sermon: Brother Kelly Lawson Faith, The Faith & the Faith of Christ

The word "faith" is often applied subjectively to one's inner trust with reliance in Christ or God to save us or what one believes a synonym for

"belief". But in other contexts, especially with the Greek article we translate with the word "the" "the faith", Greek: "tees PIS-te-os". It is used in the

objective sense, meaning the body of truth, the whole system of religion that is taught, believed and practiced by New Testament Christians, the pattern for true Christianity. Christianity is contrasted with the Mosaic law system. It is unfortunate that most translations drop the Article "the", in Gal 3:23-27. We do not become the "children of God" by "the law" but by "the faith" "tis

pisteos". It is "the faith" because there is only "one faith" cf: Eph 4:4-5. The way, The path cf: Prov 4:18, Isa 35:8, Jer 32:39 Mat 7:13-14, John 14:6 Luke 18:8, Jude 3, Acts 6:7, Acts 13:7-8, Acts 14:22, Acts 16:5, Acts 24:14, Romans 1:5, Romans 14:1, I Cor 16:13, II Cor 13:5, Gal 1:23, Eph 4:5 & 13, Col. 1:23, Titus 1:13, I Tim 4:1, I Tim 6:21, Phil 1:27. This shows that in the

New Testament times there was a clearly defined system of belief and practice which is identified over and over as "the faith".
