“Faith!”, they say comes from hearing the message, and
the message is heard through the word of God.The emphasis is on the hearing, which
is a present continous tense. Suggesting we should do it regularly, more often,
everyday in studying the word of Christ.
The scripture says at all times carry faith as a
shield, for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by
the enemy. Also, take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, because
the word of God is sharper than any double edge sword, it penetrates even to
dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts and
attitude of the heart.
In the beginning the word already existed, the word
was with God, and the word was God. By the word of the lord were the heavens
made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
Now that you see the connection of having “faith” and hearing the word.The
scriptures say and without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone
who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who
earnestly seek him. Also
“Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God
accepted him as righteous”.
And “faith” is the assured expectation of what is
hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen.
