What you think about this verse?

Where's it from?

...by believing God enough to obey Him. God gave Abraham faith in Himself.

By having faith in God God gave him faith in God? Cool.

Abraham believed God's word that's all, where does obey come from? Abraham believed and that was credited, nothing is said about obedience. ...by believing God enough to obey Him. is where?

Col 1:13. "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness [into righteousness], and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son."

You see it but you don't understand it. He delievered us, He translated us into Heaven. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus... 1 Cor 1:30.

Because Christ now HAS a kingdom to be "translated" into!!

His Kingdom is eternal, He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is the same yesterday, today and forever how can you say He now has a Kingdom? Every part of creation is His Kingdom and always has been. His writ rules all things.

Does that make sense to you?

I think you were saying that the King of Kings was without a Kingdom once upon a time. You are best suited to judge whether it made sense to me.

Jesus is waiting for all of us at the cross. He went to the cross to meet you half way.

A remarkable diversity in Christianity isn't there? Is this semi-Pelagian?

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom...

That's just the beginning in fear, finding the end is a must.
