FAITH
Illustration★★★★Dwight L. Moody once said: “I suppose that if all the times I have prayed for faith were put together, it would amount to months. I used to say, ‘What we want is faith; if we only have faith we can turn Chicago upside down,’ or rather right side up. I thought that some day faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, ‘Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.’ I had closed my Bible and prayed for faith. I now opened my Bible and began to study, and faith has been growing ever since.”
The point
Moody discovered that faith comes not through prayer alone but through hearing and studying God's Word; he learned this by studying Romans 10:17.
