17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word 10:17 Or concerning Christof Christ.
18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? On the contrary:
"Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the10:18 Or inhabited earthworld."
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:
"Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world."10:18 Psalm 19:4
17 So Gal. 3:2,5faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for
Cited from Ps. 19:4;[1 Thess. 1:8] "Their voice has gone out [Mark 16:15]; See Matt. 24:14to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world."
17 So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. 18 But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have:
"The message has gone throughout the earth,
and the words to all the world."10:18 Ps 19:4.
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
Ps. 19:4; Matt. 24:14; Mark 16:15; Rom. 1:8; Col. 1:6, 23; 1 Thess. 1:8"Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world."
17 So faith comes from what is heard, 10:17 Gl 3:2,5 and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. 10:17 Other mss read God, 10:17 Col 3:1618 But I ask, "Did they not hear? " Yes, they did:
Their voice has gone out to the whole earth,
and their words to the ends of the world. 10:18 Ps 19:4, 10:18 Ps 19:4; Rm 1:8; Col 1:16,23; 1Th 1:8
17 Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ. 18 But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.
14-17 But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims,
A sight to take your breath away!
Grand processions of people
telling all the good things of God!
But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: "Does anyone care, God? Is anyone listening and believing a word of it?" The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to.
18-21 But haven’t there been plenty of opportunities for Israel to listen and understand what’s going on? Plenty, I’d say.
Preachers’ voices have gone ’round the world,
Their message to earth’s seven seas.
So the big question is, Why didn’t Israel understand that she had no corner on this message? Moses had it right when he predicted,
When you see God reach out to those
you consider your inferiors—outsiders!—
you’ll become insanely jealous.
When you see God reach out to people
you think are religiously stupid,
you’ll throw temper tantrums.
Isaiah dared to speak out these words of God:
People found and welcomed me
who never so much as looked for me.
And I found and welcomed people
who had never even asked about me.
Then he capped it with a damning indictment:
Day after day after day,
I beckoned Israel with open arms,
And got nothing for my trouble
but cold shoulders and icy stares.
