“Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17
Why do so many people hear the truth of God and reject Christ? They hear with their ears but they have a hardened heart towards God. Or, they have selective hearing and accept only what is comfortable to their lifestyle.
Most Christians don’t have a clue to what it means to walk by faith. They are enamored with keeping laws and doing works. You will never understand God unless you live by faith and reach out to Him for your every need.
The Word of God is alive and powerful to those who have an open heart to God. It is life changing.
The simplicity of Christ is to walk by faith believing in His promises.
You have to hear and accept the Word of God by faith. There is no compromise with God. He wants your absolute devotion to Him.
The Word of God is life changing to those who walk by the Spirit and reject the laws of religion.
The Spirit of Christ convicts you of the need for God. You see the futility of living for self.
The invitation from religion to accept Christ is burdened with laws and works. It turns most people away from God.
Christ died to abolish all the laws of religion and set you free to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.
The call from Christ is to live by faith trusting in the promises of God. You abandon yourself to God without any limitations. Your purpose is to know Christ and seek out His will for your life.
