You may know (absolutely) ye have eternal life

Question:
"When we get to Heaven and eternal life, will we still have "faith"??"

GE:
"The righteous SHALL live by faith" --- Paul says these three - faith, hope and love - "ABIDETH". Where love is, there shall be both hope and faith. Even when Jesus shall have come, we shall live by these three. How do I understand it? I do NOT understand it; I believe it and shall for ever, believe it.

 

mark1:
"Preach the Gospel to "every creature" has no meaning then does it?"

GE:
How can you say that?!
Preach the Gospel to "every creature" for that is the meaning of it: for it to be proclaimed. God shall do the rest. Actually, it is God himself who effectively proclaims the Gospel ... through, the preaching of .... HIS, Word!

Is it not reason enough for you to proclaim the Gospel that God told you to proclaim it? You have nothing to do with the conversion of any hearers after you have proclaimed the Gospel.

Hbr 11:1¶Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Will you not be able to see Jesus face to face when we get to Heaven? Faith is a vehicle that helps get us to Heaven.

Rom 10:17So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

You think we will still need preachers in Heaven?

pis'-tis​

from peiqw - peitho 3982; persuasion, i.e. credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly, constancy in such profession; by extension, the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself:--assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.

Is this not in and of itself questioning whether I am "saved" or not. If I answer "no" then according to scripture, I cannot be saved. Is that what you are asking me brother?

Jhn 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

 

You can be saved and not believe and confess that Jesus is the Christ?

Sounds like ME doctrine to me, are you sure you mean that? I was hoping you could help me with the knowledge, but you say that you are saved by faith alone, scripture teaches you are saved by "Grace" and through "faith".

Really, I do not understand you needing "faith" when you get to Heaven. Faith is the "substance" of things hoped for, the "evidence" of things not seen. When we get to Heaven, I believe we will then see, why should we have to have "faith" that Jesus will deliver us, when we are already there. Just my belief, maybe I am outside of the norm. I don't know what men have decided the "norm" is concerning this.

 

No.
We walk by faith, and not by sight.
When Jesus comes we will see him as he is; we will no longer need faith.
Faith will end at the time that we see Christ.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
--Presently there remains these three: faith, hope and love.
The greatest of these three gifts is love. Why? Because only love will go on for all eternity. Both faith and hope will end at the coming of Christ. There is no need of hope and faith in heaven, but love will last forever.

Our hope is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our Blessed Hope.
He hope for those things that we see not. For, when we see them, then why would we yet hope for them.
The same is true of Christ.
We walk by faith, and not by sight.
When Christ comes, we no longer need faith; we will see him as He is.

 

I admire those who could practice patience with the free-willers, own-decision makers, and self righteous. May I speak a word of encouragement to you with your task. I admit I am not up to it for the sheer intolerant spirit of mine. To your opposition, just this: Observe and appreciate the long-suffering of your reprovers!

 

Thank you Sir;

Hbr 12:2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

When its finished, its finished!

 

Thank God for our free wills to choose to follow Christ all the way to Heaven, and while here on earth to suffer those who would lead us wrong, and reprove us, and say we don't have a right to the Tree of Life.:thumbs: God Bless

If you do not mind, please answer whether we will have "faith" in Heaven.

HP: Interesting question Mark1, and an interesting response by DHK. :thumbs:

Let me ask DHK, are you now in possession of absolute knowledge of your final standing with God? If so, how can it be said that you walk by faith in the here and now, something you say will NOT be present when we get to heaven?

Questions for all the list:

Can one hold anything by faith and at the same time hold it as absolute knowledge? Does the term absolute knowledge predispose of any element of uncertainty or error? If we hold our salvation by absolute knowledge, is deception even possible, and would there ever be a need to examine our faith to see if it is based on solid evidence? What is the meaning of the following verses? Heb 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God…..and this one 1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
