Seeking Jesus First Dec. 18, 2024
Faith begins where the will of God is known.
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17, NKJV)
GOD cannot lie, therefore, God's word expresses His will. When we have a word from God, we know the will of God. The Scriptures speak the will of God. Faith begins where the will of God is known.
Faith can't exist until you have heard the word of God. Faith can only exist when you know the will of God. A person can only operate in faith where they know God’s Word.
Faith works by love. God is love. His loving word produces faith and expectation in those who hear Him. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6, NKJV)
We can only please God through hearing and believing Him, so He gives us the ability to receive His word and through His word He gives the ability to have faith in what He says. IHis word produces faith in the heart of the hearer. Therefore, read, study, meditate, memorize, believe, obey and speak His word so that your faith will increase.
