Q # 1937065

Question:

Preacher, I was discussing with a Calvinist friend the issue of faith. I told him that I believed that faith or belief in God thru Jesus is what we do in order to be saved. He attacked me with the Sword, Romans 12:3, and said faith comes from God. Ouch, I was hurt because that is what it seems like it is saying. How would you explain the last part of that verse which says, “God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith”?

Answer:

Faith means trust. God gives every man the ability to trust Him. The choice is ours as whether or not we do trust Him.
