Furthermore here is expressed the nature of faith,1 when he commands us to come unto §1him: for we must so hear the Lord, that the §2fruit thereof may also follow. Those also who receive the word of God in faith do cast away their lusts, and reject the world wherewith they were fast bound, that they may willingly draw near unto God, and that with much joy and gladness of heart. Yet faith can not be conceived without hearing, Rom. 10.17. that is to say, without understanding of the word, and therefore he commands us to incline our ear before we come. When mention shall be made of faith then,2 let us remember that it must be joined to the word, in which it hath her foundation.
