Faith in God’s Word - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2024

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17

Faith in God's Word
God wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). That is why He has the good news of salvation proclaimed and spread. On this subject, today's Bible verse presents an important principle: saving faith comes through the proclamation of the Word of God.

This is true for those who have been commissioned by the Lord Jesus to bring the gospel of grace to people. Surely they will ask themselves how they can reach people who hardly know anything from the Bible. The Lord can show them a point of contact so that they can start a conversation with people, get their attention or pass on an evangelistic flyer to them. With all the different possibilities, it remains important that ultimately the Word of God is placed before hearts and consciences. Only this Word has power to bring about conversion and lead to faith in the Lord Jesus.

The principle mentioned above is also addressed to all who are not yet at peace with God. Only by believing what He says in the Bible will they be saved. A decent or charitable lifestyle cannot erase their guilt before Him. That is why God calls them to confess their sins to Him and to believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. Everyone who accepts this message and acts accordingly receives forgiveness and eternal life.
