Elements for the finishing of the work

And the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;1 cor:2 :14 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be: Rom:8 :7 For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus; Phil:2 :5 but whatever is not of faith is sin. Rom:14 :23 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Rom. 10:17"

It is therefore certain and sure that the word of God is the only medium by which faith comes. We are thus shut in to the fact that where there is no Word of God there cannot be any faith. When this is the case, it means that in the exercise of faith, one depends completely on the word of God and trust to the word completely for the accomplishment of what it says.
