10 mins a day, closer to God.
As Christians, we all know that our faith in Jesus is the way to salvation and to God. Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). We must also realize that faith is a gift from God through His grace, not something we created. So, how does God place faith in us? In this passage, Paul gives us the answer - Faith comes from hearing the Word of God. Through His Words, God plants faith inside us. As we can see, Paul did not just stop at "faith comes from hearing," but he continued with another "hearing" word to further emphasize what he meant. However, we should never underestimate the power of God's word; hearing it once does not automatically lead to faith. Faith and the growth of our faith are the result of hearing and hearing. So today, take some time to dive into God’s word. Pick a scripture and examine it with fresh eyes and an open heart. Really think about what God is saying to you and how you can apply it. Faith comes as you hear God’s word over and over again!
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to immerse myself in Your word. Come near me, so I can hear Your whispers of love and wisdom. In this chaotic world, Your word is the only source of truth. As I dive into Your word, may You open my heart and mind. Fill my heart with Your Holy Spirit, guiding me through each day, so I won't be distracted by evil. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
1 Peter 1:25
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
