God’s Word is the foundational source through which faith is generated and nourished.
The Bible teaches that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). This indicates that the Scriptures are vital in revealing God's character and promises, which in turn engenders faith in the hearts of believers. The preaching of God's Word is a means by which the Holy Spirit imparts faith, enabling listeners to comprehend and embrace the truth of the gospel. Through the consistent engagement with Scripture, Christians are reminded of God's faithfulness and equipped to live out their faith in practical ways. Thus, the Word is not a mere historical account but a living testament that fosters spiritual growth and assurance.
