"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17 KJV).
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, no one can come to the Father but through Him (John 14:6, paraphrased). That is the message of salvation, forgiveness, and grace the world should be "hearing" based on this passage.
But for believers, our faith is built up by being in the Word: reading it, hearing it taught, studying it. Much like a bridge . . .
"Whenever you see a bridge, let it serve as a symbol of how faith unites us with the living God and guides us to abundant life in Him. And keep in mind that a regular intake of Scripture reinforces our “bridge,” adding to its strength and stability" (In Touch Daily Devotional. March 12, 2024. Bridge to God’s Promises).
