Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author
and perfecter of our
faith, who for the joy
set before him endured the cross, scorning its
shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God. Heb 12:2
... until we all reach unity in the faith and in
the
knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fulness of Christ.
Eph 4:13
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about
the salvation we share, I felt I had to write
and urge you
to contend for the faith that was once for all
entrusted
to the saints. Jude3
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,
and the message is heard through the word of
Christ.
Rom.
10:17 cf. 1 Tim. 2:7; 4:6; Rom. 6:17
