"And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country."
There are again two lessons that should be taken from today's quote. The first, of course, is the fact that Jesus gave sight to the two blind men. The second, is much more subtle and also very important to the children of God today.
Notice that after Jesus had given sight to the blind men he said, "According to your faith be it unto you." That saying, in essence, means that if those two men had faith in Jesus to do the work their vision be fully restored.
That same rule applies today to those who wish to achieve eternal salvation. If a lost soul simply has faith in Jesus for *remission of his/her sins, their sins WILL be remitted according to that faith.~
*According to Strong's bible dictionary remission is defined as follows; (1) release from bondage or imprisonment (2)forgiveness or pardon, of sins (letting them go as if they had never been committed), (3)remission of the penalty.
