Faith Comes From Hearing And Hearing By The Word Of God.
The Theological Bible Studies Institute
The New Testament church fully accepted the authority of the books which came from the pens of the writers of Scripture. Paul explained this authority, saying, “All scripture is God‑breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16‑17)
At the same time this Book derives authority from its unity as 40 men penned these books over a period of 1600 years, yet there is one beautiful and glorious theme and purpose. That could no more have just happened than an explosion in a print shop could have produced an unabridged dictionary. There had to be a master Author and plan, and that one is God. Get acquainted with this marvelous book. But better yet get to know the author of this book, and then what He inspired will be even more meaningful.
Scripture was given to us so we might know the Father, be reconciled to Him through His Son, and bring glory to His name. Therefore, we should make it a goal to become familiar with His precious Word. This is what The Theological Bible Studies Institute is all about.
If you want to build your faith in God, the only way to do it is by hearing His Word. God’s Word has the power to go forth and accomplish His purposes in your life. It builds faith that gives life to your dreams, gives strength to your body, and builds a hedge of protection that brings you peace of mind. God’s Word gives you faith that as you confront what look like mountains of impossibility, whether it’s a financial or spiritual or physical impossibility, you can say to that mountain,“Be removed and cast into the midst of the sea.” It gives you strength to take the next step when you think the hill is too hard to climb. His Word builds the kind of faith that says,“I may be pressed on every side, but if God is for me, who can be against me?”
That kind of faith comes when you hear the Word of God and receive it into your heart. Hearing the Word of God gives you the kind of faith to look at the world, the flesh and the devil today and declare that you are more than a conqueror through Christ!
