WHY MUST WE CONTEND FOR THE FAITH? (2) We must also observe that “the faith” was “delivered” unto the first-century saints. The expression “was delivered” is a passive voice form which reveals that the doctrine of Christ is not a human production; rather, it is from heaven. Note Paul’s affirmation concerning the origin of the gospel in Galatians 1:11-12: For I make known unto you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ. As a divinely given system, therefore, “the faith” is not subject to addition, subtraction, or modification in any form.
