The Shape of my Heart

I have realized a thing or two about the expression; "faith of a child!" Manny Norwegians say that they have they're own kind of faith, (barnetro), a kind of memory of what Jesus ment to them as a child. For those people the word "faith" is misunderstood, because faith means action! If you confess The Lord as Saviour, you need also to acsept him as Lord. And if a saved man continue to live in sin, he will perich. I say it is a differens between to sin, and to live constandty in sin. A repentance is nessesary. Manny Norwegians cling to this lie, they think they are saved just because they are sprincled water on as a child, and they celebrated a confirmation as a traditional sermony as a 15 year old. That is a very sad story! The truth is all of us will perich without a repentance and a confession of Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. (Romains 10. 9) Jesus said; "repent" and "follow me". Some people spit Jesus right up in the face (literaly), because they don't notice the sacrifice Jesus did for us when he spilt His blood on Calvary. The Apostles, espesialy James and Peter, tell us that faith and actions belongs to eachother. It is impossible to separate these two words, faith and actions stick together as one. It's like a coin, you know the head and crown are on the same coin.

James 2,17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

James 2,22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. James 2,18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

2 Pet 1,5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

Mark 1,15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

Luk 13,5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

Apg 2,38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
