God given faith should be examined theologically textually and experientially. The person possessing God-given faith will always be investigating what the Scriptures say about faith in order to obtain a better understanding of that faith. In addition, Since the faith of God's elect transcends the natural faith of the unregenerate, it can elect transcends the natural faith of the unregenerate it can never be referred to as simple faith. Although the word simple is archaic some synonyms for it are clear plain natural uncomplicated and readily understood. Anytime the sovereign God is associated with faith it is not simple but complex.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees his nicodemus a ruler of the Jews this man came to Him by night and said to Him; Rabbi we have known that you have come as a teacher from God for no one is do those miracles that you are performed unless God is with him.

It is like Bible college Series 1 beginning course 1 #1 page 1 part 1Have you ever wondered how everything in the world began? All people at some time will stop and think. Those beautiful flowers roses pansies tulips where did they come from? Many of you have pets dogs cats ducks horses where did they come from? Sometimes at night when you see the stars moon and the big black sky maybe you all this start? How did it begin? Who made all these things? Have you ever thought Where did man come from? Many schools teach that our great-grandparents started from monkeys or little frogs. This is silly because monkeys do not change into people today. Do you think that a little frog can become a little boy or girl? What is the truth about the beginning? It was a long time ago and no one today was alive when everything started. Today there are more than three billion people in the world. How did they begin? At the beginning there was alive when everything started. Where did they come from? There are many animals today dogs cats horses cows rabbits lions tigers and a many others. In the beginning there had to be at least two a mother and a father. But where did the first father and mother animals come from? It is the same with all life. In addition, the fish the birds and even the bugs had to have a beginning. How did life on the earth begin? Before the beginning there were no trees and flowers no sun no sky no clouds no birds or fish. There was not one boy girl man or woman. There was nothing but God. God has always been. God had no beginning and will have no end. Look around you. Look outside. This is a great big world.

He spoke to the bridegroom. This wine is better than any you have served so far. You kept the best wine until last. This was the first time Jesus did something to prove he was the Son of God. Whenever his followers saw it they believed in Jesus even more.
