The Power of Your Words – Part 3
Faith always begins where the will of God is known. How does faith come? Romans 10:17 NKJV (17) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Before we are Born Again, we have no faith and so faith (to get saved) comes by hearing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. What about after we are saved?
