I am unsure about trusting these things the way we apply them. It's very confusing to apply gospel in focusing on willing and forgetting. I am not a active proponent of two line theology because it merely teaches two truths equally important.We come away with the overwhelming impression that there is no single purpose or proper direction. 

The gospel unifies all necessary things, but two line creates organized chaos. My understanding of the gospel turn attention away from myself. Making these eternal truths real by genuinely believing doesn't motivate me to seek the single object of unshakable faith. But believing is applicable when Gods word is a mirror to the faithful soul. Hence,Gods word is a cause of believing. The person stands outside of himself, view himself as he is. We simply point to sacred word as our sufficient confidence.

 Luther used to say if you divide him, the word of God would bleed out. If my first question was do I sincerely believe this? At that point I would start with myself. Consequently, my confidence would be based on whether I believed. But when I go to sacred word experience new creation of considerable confidence. So it's carefully looking in the objective mirror. I do not grasp who I am until I examine His word as a mirror to explain me who I am. in this sense I do not really trust in myself as pointing to my childlike trust. In forgetting myself I correctly point to His word alone and then I adequately express trust. Like a polished mirror.People that I am around get frustrated because I will say in the future I create this or that. But then when it happens they say you caused it. At that time I say no God alone through His sacred word delivered this. How can I do something beyond my initial control? I merely adopted Gods word and employed it.
