Luke 18:8
"I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
I know the form of a word which was chosen by the writer writing philosophically is significant.
Luke 18:8 and Hebrews 11:1 have two different forms of the word faith. The form of the word at Hebrews 11:1 can be accomplished in an unbeliever. The form of the word faith at "will he find faith on the Earth" refers to the sheep who would follow the Shepherd.
Are there some people who are believing the faith that is being looked for is believing IN the one looking(will he find)? Is it trusting that there IS one looking?(will he find) Or does it mean will there be people being LED according to faith by the Leader? Will he find the kind of faith that means follow?
So it is not a question about where people's HEARTS are. It means where a person is heading TO.
Why does is say the Christ will return? It means to each person who is being led.
I have searched where the same form of the word "faith" has been written at Luke 18:8
But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you." Luke 5:20
"And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him." The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" Luke 17:5
And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you. Luke 17:6
And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?" Mark 4:40
When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord." Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith."
I see that there are people who believe Christ will move the mountain. But can you see faith is the strength given for each believer to be in the right mind, heart and soul to move the mountain?
