“It is through faith that righteous person has life.” Romans 1:17
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17
Faith is not a feeling. Faith is a response to hearing God’s Word, specifically the message about Jesus. When we listen to someone speak, we do not always hear what they say. The act of listening is putting our ears to work. We listen to sounds all day long and many of them are just cast aside as everyday noises that mean little to nothing in our daily lives. However, hearing is a totally different concept. Hearing implies more than just a physical act. Hearing is receiving, processing and understanding what we hear. According to the Apostle Paul we need to hear the message of Christ in order to believe it. When we hear and believe we begin to build faith in our Lord Jesus and in all that he does for us. We begin to believe all of the actions of his life on the earth. We believe the reason he walked in this world and the reason for his death on the cross. We believe in the resurrection and of eternal life with him when we transfer from this world to the next. To be in right standing with our God in heaven we must believe with faith. He gives us promises that we have not seen but must believe to receive. To believe in our God we must believe in things unseen. We must have a faith that is so strong, there is nothing that can destroy it. We must read, meditate and pray his Holy Word. We must ask for understanding and believe that we have received it. We must put his promises into action in our lives so that his truths will become real and live within us. Jesus is our Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
