The Faith of God's Elect !

[beloved57]

Titus 1:1

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

Faith is given to Gods Elect, and not all mankind, that's why Paul writes all don't have Faith 2 Thessalonians 3:2
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.


Those for whom Christ died, or was delivered up for, namely His Elect, Rom 8:32
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
With Him, He freely gives them all things, one of those things being Faith, or to believe on Him as per Phil 1:29
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Now the word give in Rom 8:32 and given in Phil 1:29 are the same greek word:
Charizoma, and means to bestow.

God graciously bestows faith, or the gift of believing upon all Christ was delivered up for.

This Faith is not found within the ability of the natural man or mind, hence giving him no opportunity to boast.

Again Faith that pleases and obeys God Heb 11, it's not from the natural mind or person, but it's the Faith of the Son of God Gal 2:20 , communicated to them in New Birth of Spiritual life because He's their Head and Saviour.

Paul writes that it, being Faith, is not of ourselves, but it's the gift of God. See its not a natural ability, that's why man can't boast about it.

Isn't it boasting if I claim Christ died for me, but insist He didn't die for others?

Do you want to discuss the scriptures I used or evade them?

Christ was crucified for all mankind.

 

[beloved57]

Christ was crucified for all mankind.

A invalid statement not supported in scripture and a rabbit trail.
