Rom_5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

by Whom (IAM the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End)
we (for God so loved the world)
have access (the veil was torn Top to Bottom)
by faith (not by works)
into (I go to prepare a Place for you that where IAM you may be also)
His Grace (the law came thru Moses but Grace comes thru Jesus Christ)



Let me know if you can figure out the color code.........

Through faith in Jesus Christ (dia pisteōs ̣Iēsoǔ Christou). Intermediate agency (dia) is faith and objective genitive, “in Jesus Christ,” not subjective “of Jesus Christ,” in spite of Haussleiter’s contention for that idea. The objective nature of faith in Christ is shown in Gal_2:16 by the addition eis Christon Iēsoun episteusamen (we believed in Christ), by tēs eis Christon pisteōs humōn (of your faith in Christ) in Col_2:5, by en pistei tēi en Christōi Iēsou (in faith that in Christ Jesus) in 1Ti_3:13, as well as here by the added words “unto all them that believe” (eis pantas tous pisteuontas) in Jesus, Paul means.
Robertson.

But Epi made a statement I cannot agree with-we must all "Experience" something-and-"It will take a looong time BEFORE understanding, IF ever "

Also, the faith of Abraham was not "different" than our faith eis/en- Christ Jesus.

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ditto. This is where many conflate it to mean Jesus had faith and needed to be saved like the rest of us. That is heretical.

What is the " faith of Christ " ?

In the NT is always faith in Christ.
Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”

Revelation 14:12-13


Is there any greater faith then this???

We can be assured of this: The faith of, in, thru and from our Lord Jesus Christ

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,
for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Philipians 1:6

Hello @Episkopos,

My conculsion is

Jeremiah 31:33
"This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

“And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭34‬ ‭YLT98‬‬

This is what “new testament is” - while the apostolic record is the collection of books we have to read from today.

How does this happen ?

"I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."
“Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God. And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance; and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope; and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭YLT98‬‬
