“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17 (ESV)
The promises we have in today's verse are very special because they affirm for us how we have the faith we claim to have. When ever we have the opportunity to hear the Word of God spoken and taught to us, and whenever we read from the Bible, we have the opportunity to believe. It is our faith in the truthfulness of God's word that builds our life in Christ. Faith comes from hearing the message. We know that we are saved by faith and the Bible tells us that we live by faith. Yes, we need faith to live our Christian live each day. We need faith to believe and trust the promises and as we do our faith is strengthened. Paying attention to His Word whenever we hear it and taking it in and thinking about it is how our faith grows. When confronted by a trial or test of our faith, we can trust it to help us because we believe what we have heard through His Word.
