Hears the Word
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 5:24

Hears the Word
God chooses to wrap your faith and salvation in the spoken Word. We Christians are people of the Word of God. The great gift of salvation comes to you by way of your ear. The Holy Spirit brings life to you when the Word is preached to you and the Sacraments are delivered to you. Everything that the Church does has the Word of God in it, with it, and under it. The Word is the transforming power of Jesus’ cross. The Word is the eternal and unchanging forgiveness and life that grants Jesus’ victory to you. So, our liturgy, our prayers, each Sacrament, and the preaching we hear is this Word of God. The Holy Spirit puts the gifts of the cross in your heart as he sustains this Word in your hearing. You pass from death to life by a declaration of the Holy Spirit. He has declared your eternal life to you paid by the blood of Jesus.
