God’s Word Produces Faith in Him

Below are three Bible passages about the power of God’s Word and four Bible passages about the power of faith in God.  

“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold,

Yea, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.” [1]

“How much better to get wisdom than gold!

And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

He who heeds the word wisely will find good,

And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.”

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,

Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. [2]

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” [3]

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” [4]

“God gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” [5]

“So, then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” [6]

Not only does God’s Word compel us away-from foolishness and ungodliness, He produces faith in us through it so we can believe that the unseen can become seen as we trust in Him. God speaks things into existence that formerly did not exist.

“…God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.” [7]

God can even produce followers of Christ out of stones.

“Yay, Lord, we need stones to become children of Abraham because the work is great and the laborers (of Your Word) are few.”
