rom 10:
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The bible teaches that Faith is not of ourselves, but it is the Gift of God,[eph 2:8] this means it comes with Gods Gift which is Jesus christ Himself to His sheep. In Jn 4:
10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
With Him God freely gives all things for Life and salvation for the elect, rom 8:
32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely giveus all things?
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
One of the things that God freely gives the elect with him is Justification,
rom 3:
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
But what about Faith ? How does Faith figure into this ? Well Faith is given in order to know of the elects Justifcation, because they are born into this world dead, dead in sin, alienated from the Life of God..
So something must happen to them spiritually for them to know or have Faith in christ as their Saviour..
Lets Look at Jn 5:
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Notice, the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God..
Now this is not speaking about those in the graves yet, thats later see jn 5:28
But what Jesus is Talking about , is Folk who are dead spiritually in treespasses and sins..His voice will quicken them, and they shall hear..
jn 6:
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
I believe Jesus is referring to the same as paul in eph 2:
1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
No doubt God the Holy Ghost and God the Son are of one mind and work together in this quickening or making alive..
But going back to Jn 5 :
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Notice, the dead shall hear ! Hear the voice of Jesus christ..so then, those hearing, recieve Faith from the Jesus christ..
Remeber Faith cometh by Hearing, and hearing the word of God..
Jesus christ voice is the word of God..His voice or words giveth spiritual life via the Holy Ghost, and this gives hearing which gives Faith..
Notice vs 24:
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Those hearing, Jesus said, hath been in the past, passed from the death to life..
Faith is a Gift of God, Given with Gods Gift, to the elect..
remeber His sheep Hear His voice Jn 10:
27My sheep hear my voice[the word of God], and I know them, and they follow me:
