How Faith Grows
First the Blade
Q: Please explain Romans 10:17; What does this Bible verse mean exactly?
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
A: I understand why you ask, it can seem slightly disjointed on first reading, but that is because it packs a huge amount into a few words.
First let’s get it in the most accurately translated form, the KJV, Ro. 10:17;
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Some people wonder why it doesn’t just say;
Faith comes by hearing the word of God.
That’s plain enough to grasp, it’s the addition of “and hearing by” that throws readers.
