Romans Bible Study

Romans 10:14-17 “Faith Comes by Hearing”

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Video Notes: 

  • Hearing is passive. In fact you have to actively work to avoid hearing.
  • The active term is preaching/proclaiming.
  • The Bible teaches that we cannot come to God or choose Him. He choses us, calls us, creates faith in us, and saves us.
    • Romans 10:6-8 We don’t go to Him or draw God to us, He comes to us.
    • Romans 3:11 No one seeks God.
    • John 15:16
    • Ephesians 1:4-5
