JULY 25, Romans 10:17

Dear children? How did you come to know about Jesus Christ as the only Saviour of the world?

“Mummy read the Bible to me”. “Someone told me”.

God says the NORMAL way someone becomes a Christian is “…faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).

Paul knew the importance of this too, which was why he tried his best to tell people the Word of God. Today, let us focus on how children HEAR the Word of God. You attend Sunday School. What is in your mind each time you hear the Word of God?

How should you listen to the Word of God?

1. Be attentive

Satan doesn’t like it at all whenever God’s Word is preached, because he didn’t want you to be saved! If you are not attentive in class, this is what Satan will do: Luke 8:12 “…then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.”

2. Have faith in the Bible

Hebrews 4:2, “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”

Thought: The Word of God is so important for my soul!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please give me attentiveness and faith each time the Word of God is taught to me. I know often I stray and even daydream, so Heavenly Father, do please help me. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
