“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

(Rom. 10:7) “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” In Romans chapters 9+10, God teaches us that it’s very possible to lose faith. Take Israel for example, they lost their faith when they began to think more highly of their religion then they did their obedience to the Law. They loved more the idea of being God’s chosen people then they did obeying God’s Holy Word, and so they stumbled at the coming of Christ. The Bible is clear when it says that righteousness can only be attained by believing and trusting in God’s promises. That’s faith, and that’s why we need to be more in love with the idea of being obedient than being saved. God didn’t call us to worship a book, but rather to read it, believe it, and obey it! Be very careful, for faith does not ask for proof, nor does it question why, but it just simply hears and obeys what God commands!
