The Nugget:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My Comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I firmly believe that faith comes by hearing God’s Word. That hearing may take place by literally hearing Bible truth spoken by someone, such as a pastor or Christian worker, presenting the message orally. Equally, that hearing may take place as a result of our own reading of the Bible for ourselves. This verse, so understood, argues for the understandability of the Bible. It also argues for the effectiveness of the Bible to accomplish what God intended it for, namely, the salvation of souls. If you read the Bible, starting with the New Testament, you can be saved as God the Holy Spirit enables you to understand what it means. It happened to me. It has happened to a number of my students in public school to whom I recommended that in the face of the difficulties they were facing they would find help, comfort, and guidance in the Bible. They did. They wrote compositions in my English class to let me know, or they told me in person, or called my home to let me know they had received Christ as a result of reading the Bible.<\/p>\n

Significant ancient authorities support the alternate reading “of Christ,” but Gifford cites Meyer, De Wette, Lange, Philippi, etc., who “agree in regarding it as a gloss intended to define more precisely the meaning of “by the word of God.” Furthermore, if the alternate reading is accepted, it is the only occurrence of r\u0113ma Christou<\/em> in the New Testament.
