This document discusses why Jesus Christ may not indwell some believers and the importance of faith. It suggests that Christ does not indwell those who do not truly obey God's commands by following worldly ways instead. Faith is necessary for salvation and pleasing God, but some have no faith because they do not walk in God's ways through their actions. Faith is a gift from God that overcomes the world. The document encourages growing one's faith through doing God's word, not just hearing it, and provides contact information for disciple training resources on further developing faith and obedience.

1. Disciple Building Sharing
A 111 Salvation and faith,
Why didn't Jesus Christ indwell, The
necessity of faith, faith, born of God, No
confidence, not many supernatural powers

2. Preface
• From John 14:23, it is mentioned that if we
obey God’s commands, Jesus Christ will live in
us. But if we do not have the indwelling of
Jesus Christ, that means we do not pass the
test of the indwelling of Jesus Christ. Then,
What is the problem? It means that although
we are observing God’s commands on the
surface, but in fact we have not obeyed God’s
commands. How can we check it out? This is
the focus of this chapter.

3. Why is Jesus Christ not indwelling
• John. 14:23 “Jesus answered and said to him, "If
anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My
Father will love him, and We will come to him and
make Our home with him.”
• Didn't live with him => didn't follow my way
• Col. 2:8 “Beware lest anyone cheat you through
philosophy and empty deceit, according to the
tradition of men, according to the basic principles
of the world, and not according to Christ.”

4. Why is Jesus Christ not indwelling
• Jesus Christ has no indwelling in us, because
we are not observing the way of God, but we
are based on the habits we have followed
from our parents or the way everyone does in
the world. We do this way because we want to
get the approval of others, so God said that
since you rely on the world's methods to act,
then I have nothing to do with you.

5. The need for confidence
• Heb. 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please
Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
seek Him.”
• 2Cor. 13:5 “Examine yourselves as to whether you are
in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know
yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed
you are disqualified.”
• Rom. 4:19 “And not being weak in faith, he did not
consider his own body, already dead (since he was
about a hundred years old), and the deadness of
Sarah's womb.”

6. No faith means no salvation
• Eph. 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through
faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,”
• Eph. 2:9 “not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
• John. 16:13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth,
has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will
not speak on His own authority, but whatever He
hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to
come. ”
• Understand that there is no need of faith, enter
depends on faith

7. Faith, born of God
• 1John. 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we
keep His commandments. And His
commandments are not burdensome.”
• 1John. 5:4 “For whatever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this is the victory that
has overcome the world--our faith.”
• Rom. 14:23 “But he who doubts is condemned if
he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for
whatever is not from faith is sin.”

8. did not do many mighty works there
because of their unbelief
• Matt. 13:54 “When He had come to His own country,
He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were
astonished and said, ‘Where did this Man get this
wisdom and these mighty works?”
• Matt. 13:55 “Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His
mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses,
Simon, and Judas?”
• Matt. 13:57 “So they were offended at Him. But Jesus
said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in
his own country and in his own house.’”
• Matt. 13:58 “Now He did not do many mighty works
there because of their unbelief.”

9. The effect of faith,
the salvation of the soul
• Pet. 1:8 “whom having not seen you love.
Though now you do not see Him, yet
believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible
and full of glory,”
• Pet. 1:9 “receiving the end of your faith--the
salvation of your souls.”

10. How to grow faith
• James. 2:20 “But do you want to know, O foolish
man, that faith without works is dead?”
• James. 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
• The church does not pay attention to walk GOD’s
way, because there is this myth that if you do
this, you will become a Pharisee. But if there is no
walk GOD’s way, then there is no faith. When we
do not have faith, we do not have Christ
indwelling, and of course we cannot have
salvation.
