John 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 15:4 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
[Part 2 of 2]In order to have more faith, stronger, broader, and greater faith, we need more view. This is why we need to know more of the Holy Word and hear more messages...to give us a broader view. Then we shall have greater sight, which produces a greater faith. This kind of faith on the one hand brings God into us, and on the other hand it brings us into God. In other words, such faith always produces an organic union. We may use photography as an illustration of how, through faith, God is brought into us, and we are brought into the organic union with Him. When you take a photograph with a camera, you press the shutter. Then light brings a particular scene into the camera to reach the film. In this way the scene, the view, is impressed onto the film. In the same principle, faith brings God into our spirit, which can be compared to the film. Before faith is produced in us, our spirit is blank. But after faith is produced, God is brought into our spirit. Now our spirit is no longer blank. Instead, something of God Himself has been impressed into our spirit. God is brought into our spirit, and we are brought into God. Spontaneously, there is an organic union between us and God. Genuine faith is never in vain. It is living. It brings God into us, it brings us into God, and it makes God and us one. This living faith works in a particular way. This is what Paul means by the work of faith.
