This week, Brother Miller taught on salvation and how doubt is a major hindrance for us as we struggle to remain on this important path. He provided us with an example of how our innate human instincts are capable of believing in things we really can’t touch but in reality, know their existence persist.
This example was center around love and how; love is not something we can physically touch, however, all of our senses process it within tangible realities, why? After ensuring we understood where this important emotional and deep affection of warmth and intimate adulation fits so comfortably into each of our innate faculties; Brother Miller drew a distinct correlation to love’s inherent ability to remain intangible, yet provide a strong coherent reality that often, proves itself to be revered as tangible.
This contrasting correlation to our measure of faith under similar beliefs in most instances, do not affect love, again why, Brother Miller was able to guide us past those striking hindrances and provide clarity into the existing dichotomies.
This distinct correlation was then proffered to show love and faith, strong relationship and the contrasting correlations they each share. Brother Miller cleverly extrapolated their relationship providing the unique paradigm that juxtaposition visible acuity and the intangibility of their presences. Here is how he presented love and faith’s intangibles:
We all know that love is a real emotion, one that is sometimes so strong, we, without doubt, know it exist in our world of reality. Because it can be felt with very little effort on our parts, it comfortably fits into our daily existences of that reality. When it is prevalent in our life, we attempt to do anything within our powers to hold on to it, irrespective of the consequences at times. He then tied it to our very first experiences with love, and associated it with how it tangibly effected us the first time our hearts actually felt it’s presence.
His example again, was used to juxtaposition the acuity of love and faith, along their intangible properties. Brother Miller asked; if you know love is real, and, if you are anything like most of us, you are able to actually feel its presence, it feels so real at times, that your heart responded with a feeling of pain to its existences in your life when effected by some forms of change or pain. Likewise, the way in which it makes you react to the person or thing providing the love, well he explained how prevalent some of our reactions results in a physically tangible outcome that can be positive or negative.
In his example, Brother Miller lays out the ground work for faith’s presence within our lives and how we should look at it when considering our salvation, as a tangible behavior, versus an intangible one. This led him into the realm of faith for the purpose of justifying it as more than a propositional attitude, although faith, can at some point be considered a sense-datum, whereas, we do relate divine faith with our tangible experience in life, to the point that stimulation is brought on by the results of that faith, and either we get deeper into our relationship with God, or we doubt it because of many different reasons, resulting from—those things we relate too, when we are either denied or receive the things we have asked or prayed for, salvation should be treated just as we do with the results of loving someone without physicality being presence. Inasmuch as, we fully utilized faith to love someone we care for, so our faith in God, who holds salvation for us, should meet the same basic yet burning desire that ensures we meet all the requirements for salvation.
However, we tend too quickly disbelieve faith exist, why, mainly we don’t see it as a tangible presence. Considering this proposition, so, what drives us to believe that loves is any different—that it exist within the realm of tangibility, and why then, do we give it precedence over an equally intangible and important affection, faith?
Once his juxtaposition was clearly laid out, Brother Miller’s correlations perfectly matched up the tangibilities of faith and salvation, and clearly defined his position through the use of the Prophet Ezekiel and God’s instructions to him, to bring an army of dead bones out of their inanimate state of being.
This lesson proved to be such a powerful analogy, uncovering our road to salvation as a very delicate walk and process of faith that is exceptionally vulnerable that requires keen mental acuity and protection.
It proves that our teachers are well versed in God’s word. We know it will resonate and comfort you no matter where you are, so please enjoy this deeply motivated example of faith for our salvation that should burn in you like the an arsonist’s flame, amen. May God continue to be the blessing in your life, amen!
