Yet, when Jesus spoke the truth of God and stood boldly and firmly upon that truth, He was immediately hated by those who hate the truth. How do we return to a Church that is rooted in Scripture and unafraid to live it out? Paul told the church at Rome that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Faith is a powerful weapon, but faith can only be developed and used if it is based upon the Word of God. Having faith in faith is having faith in a shadow or a vapor, but having faith in the Word of God puts the Word of God in us to action.
