But before people can trust in the Lord for help, they must believe in him.  And before people can believe in the Lord, they must hear about him.  And for people to hear about the Lord, another person must tell them.

And before a person can go and tell them, that person must be sent.   It is written, "Beautiful are the feet of those people that come to tell good news.

But not all the Jews accepted that good news.  Isaiah said, "Lord, who believed the things we told them?"

So faith comes from hearing the Good News.  And people hear the Good News when a person tells them about Christ.

Romans 10:14-17

Jesus was lifted up to heaven.  Now Jesus is with God, at God's right side.  The Father (God) has now given the Holy Spirit to Jesus.  The Holy Spirit is what God promised to give.  So now Jesus is pouring out (giving) that Spirit.  This is what you see and hear.

Acts 2:33

Jesus did many other miracles that his followers saw.  Those miracles are not written in this book.

But these things are written so that you can believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.  Then, by believing, you can have life through his name.

John 20:30-31

Without faith, a person cannot please God.  Any person who comes to God must believe that God is real.  And any person who comes to God must believe that God rewards those people who truly want to find him.

Hebrews 11:6

Yes, we believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God.   And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved.

Yes, the Scripture says, "Any person who believes in him (Christ) will not be ashamed.

Romans 10:10-11

At that time some people were there with Jesus.  These people told Jesus about what happened to some people from Galilee.  Pilate killed those people while they were worshiping.  Pilot mixed their blood with the blood of the animals they were sacrificing to God.

Jesus answered, "Do you think this happened to those people because they were more sinful than all other people from Galilee?

No, they were not!  But if all of you don't change your hearts and lives, then you will be destroyed like those people were!

Luke 13:1-3

This promise is for you.  It is also for your children and for the people who are far away.  It is for every person that the Lord our God calls to himself."

Acts 2:38-39

While they were traveling down the road, they came to some water.   The officer said, "Look!  Here is water!  What is stopping me from being baptized?

Then the officer commanded the chariot to stop.  Both Philip and the officer went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

Acts 8:36-38

You were all baptized into Christ.  So you were all clothed with Christ.  This shows that you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Now, in Christ, there is no difference between Jew and Greek (non-Jew).   There is no difference between slaves and free men.  There is no difference between male and female.  You are all the same in Christ Jesus.

You belong to Christ.  So you are Abraham's descendants.  You get all of God's blessings because of the promise that God made to Abraham.
