Our faith is given to us by Christ. It is the gift of God, through grace.
18They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19“Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?” 20“We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. Later, the Pharisees ...
39 Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.” What is the meaning of the word "judgment" in this verse?
