nonsense1 The gospel of Jesus Christ had it's beginning in Matthew, Mark, Luke and Jonn (Mark 1:1-3 KJV). It is not the gospel Paul preached as the power of God (Romans 1:16 KJV, 1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) You made that up. There is no "one gospel" in the Bible. There is more than one gospel in the Bible and no one was sent to preach a "one gospel".
I wouldn't disagree with that (Romans 5:6-10 KJV).
Your testimony here is of trusting your self/your works, but trusting the Lord is to trust His faith and work in our place (Romans 4:25 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV, Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV). If there has never been a moment when your faith was in His, you are lost.
You have no idea of the truth!
And what do you mean if there has never been a moment that your faith was in his, you are lost?
Without complete faith we can't do anything whatsoever! How can we overcome if we don't have faith in him who gives us the power to do so?
As James said, faith without works is dead. I'll show you my faith by my works. And those works are to die the death and overcome the flesh by the power of the holy spirit and live it out to please God, doing God's will. bringing the life of Christ and word of God to others. You will know Gods true people by their fruits!
When you see someone living it and speaking with power and strength of the spirit, then you know that they have faith, because without faith we can't truly believe in God and Christ, without God and and Christ, we can't be born anew, and we can't be born anew without the power of the holy spirit, and without the power of the holy spirit we are dead to God! It all stems from faith!
Also, putting trust in myself would be foolishness, I'm only flesh and only God can give us the power to overcome. And I trust in him.
John 6
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they.are life.
