Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
OK, selfaith is a made up word. It does however say what I feel about my faith. It is mine and God did not give it to you. You have your own. We may agree upon scripture, interpretation and prophecy but how I act upon that belief is purely according to my faith, my selfaith.
Faith isn’t a religion. People assume it is because we are often asked what faith are you. You can put it in a dictionary but worldly answers will not speak to spiritual matters. Faith is given by God as a gift, not to be shown off as a prize, an ornament, or a shield like a badge of honor. I dishonor that gift if I treat it as such. It is precious because it is one of a kind in my personal relationship with God.
Paul tells us that we walk by faith in 2 Corinthians 5:7, know Christ in us by faith in 2 Corinthians 13:5, and our excellence of performance in all things is due to this faith as he declares in 2 Corinthians 8:7. None of that would be true or possible without this gift of faith, given to us as a precious jewel by God.
Jesus Christ is a person, the Holy Spirit is a person, but faith is a thing set apart which is not the same as Christ and the Spirit are unchangeable. My faith was crafted for me by God to do all that it does to achieve God’s will in me, because I am different from you in experience, training, gifts and talents.
Considering that, I do not consider it wrong for me to be selfaith.
I love your hybrid word!
