314 Three Paradigm Shifts for Faith
I am Fred Myers the founder of For the Fathers
Ministry, and this is Faith by the Numbers.
Count your way to wisdom in number three hundred
fourteen of this series, Three Paradigm Shifts
for Faith.
To mature in Christ there are three paradigm
shifts that must take place.
These are the results if the new man, spoken
of in the Bible, is a new man.
These three are also a good way to see how
much progress you are making in Christian
maturity.
Peter said to be diligent to confirm our calling
and election.
2 Pe 1:9 For whoever lacks these qualities
is so nearsighted that he is blind, having
forgotten that he was cleansed from his former
sins.
2 Pe 1:10 Therefore, brothers, be all the
more diligent to confirm your calling and
election, for if you practice these qualities
you will never fall.
Three Paradigm Shifts for Faith:
1.
Know the Truth: Know God is Truth and accept
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
2.
Believe the Truth: Believe all of scripture
as Truth, not just the part you like.
3.
Apply the Truth: Trust God so much that you
will apply Truth to your life every day.
Paul said he fed some of the Christians of
his day on milk because they were not ready
for in-depth teaching.
1 Co 3:2 I fed you with milk, not solid food,
for you were not ready for it.
And even now you are not yet ready,
Turn to God's word and be ready to learn the
full word of God and apply it to your life.
How many things do you stand for and agree
with that stands against God's word.
Today learn God's word and be blessed.

It is my prayer that many will count their
way to wisdom through this series and find
the peace that surpasses all understanding.
