Romans 10:17- “…faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
The subject of faith came up in our Bible Study Group this week.
How does one get faith? How does one grow faith?
The answer was surprisingly simple.
Romans tells us that first we need to hear the word of God. (This plants the seed of faith in our hearts).
How?
There are two main ways: 1) We hear it preached from the pastor’s pulpit and/or 2) We hear it as we read the Bible.
Then, we need to take care of that seed—help it grow.
Don’t overlook the word “hearing.”
As a teacher, I know that when students memorize something, it is an immense help if it is repeated out loud. That way, it gets into their brains using both visual AND auditory senses.
Pray that God will increase your faith as you follow these two principles.
Next week, we will talk about the value of memorizing scripture.
good pointers!
