So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. – Romans 10:17 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him. – Hebrews 11:6 Notice especially the first part of Hebrews 11:6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him….” If God requires me to have faith when I am impossible to have faith, then I have the right to challenge his justice. But if he puts into my hands the means by which faith can be produced, then the responsibility rests with me, whether I have faith or not. Faith Comes by Hearing the Word God told us that without faith it is impossible to please him, but he also told us how to get faith. If we don’t have faith, God is not to blame. Blaming God for our lack of faith is nothing in the world but ignorance. If we lack faith, we are guilty. This is also true of faith for salvation. Faith for salvation also comes from hearing, and hearing the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). Paul said in Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace you are saved, through faith, and it is not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” We know faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, but how do we get faith to be saved? Romans chapter 10 tells us. ROMANS 10:8-10,13,14 8 But what does he say? The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart: that is to say THE WORD OF FAITH, WHICH WE PREACH; 9 If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For from the heart a man believes in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made for salvation… 13 For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? and HOW WILL THEY BELIEVE IN ONE OF WHICH THEY HAVE NOT HEARD? and how will they hear without a preacher? Men are saved by hearing the Word of God, because Scripture says, “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10: 17). You cannot believe and have faith without hearing the Word. In Acts 10 and 11 we read about Cornelius, who, although pious, had not yet been saved. He hadn’t heard the gospel yet, so how could he have been saved? No, Cornelius was not saved until he heard Peter preach. An angel of the Lord appeared to Cornelius (Acts 10:3). The angel who spoke to Cornelius couldn’t preach the gospel to Cornelius because angels can’t preach the gospel; God sent men to preach. Remember that Jesus said, “…go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). But the angel could tell Cornelius where to get someone who could preach the gospel to him (Acts 11:13). The angel ordered Corneille to call Pierre: “And now send some men to Joppa, and call a certain Simon, whose family name is Pierre: he lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is on the of the sea: he will tell you what to do” (Acts 10:5,6). Acts 11:14 records that the angel said Peter would preach the gospel to Cornelius: “Who shall speak to you WORDS, whereby you and all your house shall be saved.” This verse also shows us that men are saved by hearing words – the Word of God: “So faith comes by hearing, I heard that said, and so did I. But Paul did not heal the man. The man wasn’t healed because Paul was an apostle. The man wasn’t healed by Paul’s faith. The man himself had faith to be healed. But notice what had to happen. pass before that man was healed: “And there they [Paul and Barnabas] preached the gospel” (Acts 14:7) Then Paul did three things: 1. He preached the gospel to the man. 2. He understood that the man had faith to be healed 3. He told the man to get up and walk The man also did three things: 1. He heard Paul preach the gospel 2. He had faith to be healed 3. He jumped and walked The man was not healed by any special power that Paul had The man himself had faith to be healed. Where and how did he get the faith to be healed? ‘after what he heard! Remember Acts 14:9 says, “The same [man] heard Paul SPEAK . . . .” What did Paul say? Verse 7 says, “And there they PREACHED the GOSPEL.” If Paul preached what we call the gospel of salvation, how did the man get the faith to be healed? The man got faith to be healed because Paul preached what the Bible calls the gospel, which also includes healing…
