Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart    and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him,    and he will make your paths straight.

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

 For no word from God will ever fail.
