The Logic by Faith (re-posted)

Happy Sunday everyone,

Do you know that there is logic in faith? The reason why I’m saying this is because most times, faith often times doesn’t make sense, but that is because we really don’t take our time to reason, and when I say reason, I mean reason in believing the One who told you—God. The logic of faith isn’t something that should sound impossible, but something that we can reason with.

Using a simple definition of logic, it is “reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.” So, one thing is clear, reasoning in logic flows with strict principles that are assessed. Many years ago, man couldn’t fathom the possibility of an aeroplane or television, but today following strict principles which can be explained when assessed or conducted through reasoning, have established all what we once called impossible. Something similar is what is happening to man today. They have hardened their heart to believe that what God says He has given us as Grace is impossible to believe through faith, even when evidence has shown and have proven the existence of knowledge, even though they are beyond the understanding of man. So how can faith be understood through logic?

God, has said He never goes against His word (ref.: Isaiah 55:11), in other words, He has laid down certain principles, which He can never go against. This is logic because it implies that everything God does falls within the principles He Himself laid, which is His word. So, nothing God does should catch us by surprise because they fall within the principles He laid.

To make this logic by faith clearer, His principles, are all embedded in His word, and this word as we understand according to John 1:1 is a person, and John 1:14 makes us understand that this word became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. This means, every principle of God is embedded in Jesus Christ, in other words, He cannot function outside of Jesus Christ, (ref.: Colossians 1:16-17), for in Him dwells the treasures of the wisdom of God (ref.: Colossians 2:3).

Now, God said He has given us His principles free of charge, which we really don’t deserve, so why is it hard to believe this, because when we receive Jesus as our life, we then fully understand the logic of God through faith, as our reasoning faculty after receiving Jesus would surpass the limited logic of man. We then understand the logic of how Moses split the red sea; how the wall of Jericho fell down; how Jesus fed the five thousand; how He walked on water and calmed the storm; how Jesus raised the dead, healed the sick, cast out demons and so on, all because we have received the principles and logic of God in the person of Jesus. This is why 1 Corinthians 2:16 says, we have the mind of Christ, and the things which God did before the advent of Jesus which were mysteries because of their limited logical reasoning are no longer mysteries to those who have received Jesus (ref.: Colossians 1:26).

The logic by faith allows us to do all things through the logic of God—Jesus Christ (ref.: Philippians 4:13). Digging deep into Who we have received is what we are to do, because unlike the logic of man which is limited, the logic of God is unlimited, which is why we need another Spirit in order to understand it [Him], for as the Bible says, the words of God cannot be understood by the ordinary man because he is limited (ref.: 1 Corinthians 2:14). So, when God says a thing because we now have the logic of God as our life, we then take His word as ye and amen (ref.: Hebrews 4:12). Therefore, don’t function with the logic of man, rather function with the logic by faith.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
