A podcast listener named Coby, who also keeps current on our blog at www.zarengod.org.

It seems, right then, to ask this, at the 715 mark in your sneak peak video in the

look at the book series, you connected the sacred writings in Scripture, then made the

jump to say that these inspired writings produce or yield faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.

And it seems that Scripture here makes one wise for salvation through faith.

So faith is the means by which Scripture produces salvation, not Scripture producing faith.

So my question is, how do you take through to mean produces or yields?

How do you arrive at the conclusion that Scripture produces faith from this text?

That's a complicated question.

I'm sure the listeners are kind of, what, what did he say?

So let me try to answer it in a way that clarifies the question, and I don't think it

takes long.

I really look forward doing this more often, that if people see the look at the book,

they have another question, they call you, or they write to you, and we kind of tie

together, look at the book, and APJ this way.

So let me give the verse.

Here's second Timothy 315, which he's asking about, from childhood to Timothy, you have

been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise unto or for salvation

through faith in Christ Jesus.

Now Kobe says, quote, I think the very words, it seems that Scripture makes one wise for

salvation through faith, so that faith is the means by which Scripture produces salvation,

not Scripture producing faith.
