👂 Step 2 — Hear: Faith Comes by Hearing

Romans 10:17 is the engine of the Christian life: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. You cannot skip hearing and still expect strong faith.

Romans 10:3 (NKJV)

“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.” — Romans 10:3 (NKJV)

Romans 10:4 (NKJV)

📻 Have They Not Heard? — Mix Faith When You Hear

Hebrews 4:2 — the gospel was preached to them as to us, but the word did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard.

Israel’s hearingYour hearing
Heard but sought righteousness by lawHear and believe unto righteousness
Zeal without knowledge — Romans 10:2Knowledge of God’s righteousness
Stumbled at the stumbling stoneStand on the Rock — no shame

Romans 10:13 (NKJV)

“For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13 (NKJV)

“What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;” — Romans 9:30 (NKJV)

“but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.” — Romans 9:31 (NKJV)

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” — Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

“And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” — Romans 10:15 (NKJV)

Romans 10:14 (NKJV)

“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” — Romans 10:14 (NKJV)

🏆 Confess, Believe, Call — and You Will Not Be Ashamed

The sermon closes the Romans 10 chain: send, hear, see, speak — then faith produces victory. Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.

“But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” — Romans 10:18 (NKJV)
