Robbi Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 In my local church I was asked by one of the regulars where my fiancee was, and I said that she's at home, her faith isnt as strong as mine. Therefore he said to me, dont worry, faith is a free gift from God. Ive always thought faith came through hearing and seeing that one believes, therefore it is part of mans free will. If it is a free gift from God, then that brings in the issue of double predistination I think. So im confused at the moment and dont know where faith comess from. Help?

Pio Nono Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 JMJ 12/7 - St. Ambrose of Milan Robbi, Faith is a free gift of God to those who ask for it. It seems like a paradox, but the Lord won't give you what you don't ask for - including abiding faith in Him. We must constantly pray for this gift, as we are always in danger of losing it. Hope this helps. Yours, Pio Nono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
