(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

Note that it’s His power or regulation rather than our self-effort and our ideas. It’s His gift of righteousness by grace. Grace is through faith. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing comes by the rhema of God. It all starts with His rhema, His utterance, His leading, His teaching, His correcting voice. We must topple is the idol of human intellect and self-righteousness.
