Faith Comes by Hearing

Faith Comes by Hearing explores the profound biblical truth that faith is birthed and sustained through hearing the Word of God. Rooted in foundational Scripture, especially Romans 10:17-"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ"-this book journeys through the dynamic relationship between hearing, believing, and living a faith-filled life.

The book opens by highlighting the centrality of hearing in the Christian faith. Drawing on Jesus' own words in John 20:29, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed," it contrasts physical sight with spiritual vision, encouraging readers to embrace a faith that trusts beyond what the eyes can see. This sets the stage for understanding the Christian walk as one of trust in the unseen realities of God's kingdom.

At the heart of the narrative lies the role of the apostles-eyewitnesses who personally encountered the majesty of Christ. Their testimony, preserved in Scripture, forms the bedrock of faith for every believer who has come after. The book stresses the importance of guarding this apostolic witness, recognizing it as both trustworthy and transformative.

Faith is presented as a living, breathing response to the proclamation of God's Word. Through an in-depth study of Romans 10:17, readers discover how God designed faith to arise through hearing the gospel message, often preached and read aloud. The power of preaching and Scripture is emphasized as the means through which spiritual awakening and conviction take place.
The theme of childlike faith unfolds as a model for believers-a faith marked by humility, trust, and dependence on God. Jesus' invitation to have faith like a child (Mark 10:15) is unpacked to reveal why this posture pleases God and opens the door to spiritual blessing
