Then comes Faith!

Romans 10

17.          So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

Hebrews 11

[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
[2] For by it the elders obtained a good report.
[3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
[4] By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
[5] By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
[6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 

Once you learn of God’s love for us that He sent His Son to pay a price we could not so we could be one with Him again, that is hearing, hearing about his love.

Then faith builds, and as our faith builds our hope which is expectancy starts to show through in this life.
