Romans 10:7 (NLT)
And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).”
“Not only does the first act of faith come by hearing, but all subsequent acts of faith come by hearing. And since God supplies his spirit through this “hearing with faith”, the fullness of the Spirit comes by the ongoing hearing of the Word of God. And when the Spirit comes, he comes to make much of Jesus. Which means he comes to ignite joy in our hearts over the glory of Jesus. Which means the word of God is worth more than anything this world can offer.”
- John Piper (When I Don’t Desire God)
