The Power of His Might: Chapter Five

Faith comes by Hearing

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ..”  (Romans 10:17 ESV)

Sometimes this verse is misquoted as, “Faith comes from the word of God/Christ.” However, that is not what it says. It says, “…faith comes from hearing.”

At first glance this may not seem like an important distinction. After all, if faith comes from hearing and hearing comes through the word of God, then faith comes from the word of God, right? This is a jump we should not make. What we need to understand is that to many people, the word of God, the Bible, is at best an historical document and nothing more. They read it. They find knowledge. But they do not hear God speaking to them through it. Consider the following verses:

For His Name’s Sake – Part Three

In Point to Ponder

“Help us O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name, and deliver us and purge away our sins, for your names sake.” Psalms 79:9

As we continue to walk in the paths of righteousness, hand in hand with Jesus our Shepard, He shows us that He is the God of our salvation and He helps us for the glory of His name.

God is glorified when He helps His children as they walk with Him.

But notice, He delivers us from our sins and He purges away our sins for His name’s sake. These are two different things.

For His Name’s Sake – Part Two

In Point to Ponder

“…he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
Psalms 23:3

If I am a follower of Jesus, then He has placed His name upon me, and He desires that I walk in THE paths that properly result in reflecting His character & glory through me as I walk those paths with Him.

He is righteous. He will only walk in righteous paths. He asks us to walk with Him. And so we each must ask ourselves, “Am I on a righteous path with Jesus, or on another path?”

“The highway of the upright is to depart from evil…” Proverbs 16:17

“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.” Proverbs 16:6

If we are walking with the Lord, we will be departing from evil. If we say we are a Christian, a follower of Jesus, and continue in the paths of evil, we are deceiving ourselves and bringing shame upon His name.
