How Faith Comes - Teachings

 How Faith Comes

In the same way, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). 

 

The apostle Paul gives us a heavenly way to increase our faith. This heavenly growing belief system is God's solution to our faith problem. Whether you are struggling to believe in God's Word or contemplating how to build your faith, this prayer will be a revelation for your next level of faith. 

 

Before explaining how faith comes, let’s briefly review the current state of the beliefs of most Christians. As a believer and pastor, through personal struggles and ministry to other believers, I have come to know that we have faith problems. This crisis of faith is paradoxical. Believers struggle to believe. Faith also remains a mystery in the hearts of many believers. 

 

Nevertheless, it remains the basis of our relationship with God and of the Christian's daily life. Therefore, we must overcome all obstacles and grow in the course of faith. Knowing how faith comes to us is the beginning of faith growth. Romans 10:17 says, “Faith comes by hearing.” First, it becomes the foundation upon which faith is born. We can gain or strengthen our faith. Therefore, when we find ourselves unfaithful or having little faith in any situation, this verse shows that faith can come to us. And we go further to show how that happens. 

 

Faith comes from hearing the Word of God (or Christ as in the Greek text). The key terms are “hearing” and “the word of Christ.” Faith comes from hearing, not just reading. It is the voice of God in the Word that awakens faith. Hearing God's voice is a central New Testament concept, and I have written many articles about it. His voice is not necessarily an audible sound, but the breath of the Holy Spirit in the heart of a man who in the present breathes life into the Word of God. You can hear His voice while reading the Bible or listening to a sermon. It is the voice of God in the Word we read or hear that brings faith. Therefore, hearing the voice of God is the cornerstone of gaining or growing faith.

The Peace Of The Lord - Daily Devotional

  “ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. “ - John 14:27   - INSPIRATION - The good Lord we serve has promised us his peace. No matter what the enemy brings in our way, in this world, we still have the promise of our God. He will not leave us either forsaking us. So don't worry when you go through all manner of troubles and crises, He will deliver us from them all and give us eternal peace.  When you have no strength to fight your adversary the Lord will battle for you and you will hold your peace.  The Prince of peace is with us, for the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but his kindness shall not depart from us, neither shall his covenant of peace be removed from his people.

The Lord Is Good: Daily Devotional

  “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Nahum 1:7 (KJV) The LORD is good. Goodness is the nature of the King of glory (Psalms 100:5). Knowing that God is good prompts you to give Him praise. He has given you life to live on this earth. It is not by chance that you are alive today; God made it so. His creation of heaven and earth and everything therein is a demonstration of His goodness (Genesis 1:1–31). He feeds all creation, including you, every day; He protects you from trouble and danger. For these and many other things He has been doing for us, He wants us to trust Him.  Beloved, sometimes He allows us to go through challenges so that we can be trained for the tough times ahead of us. In the midst of the trying times, He still wants us to trust Him. Dear beloved, you or your family or dear one may be going through tough times. The Lord knows about it; this is not the time to give up on God; He knows those ...

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...
