Paul called the gospel that Christ’s messengers preach to us, ‘the word of faith’. Rom 10:8. When we receive this word, it speaks righteousness into existence within us. This word then becomes the expression of our identity and life as a new creation. It is the word that we then speak from our mouth, revealing the true state of our heart as a son of God. It is the confession that we are now a son of God! Our speech is also the confession of our allegiance to Christ as Lord and King, as a citizen of His kingdom. It is an expression of faith obedience and our willingness to obey His commands.
The faith that we receive by hearing the gospel that is preached to us by Christ’s messengers has the power to accomplish the will of God in our life, and in the life of our hearers. It enables us to accomplish the works of righteousness that belong to our name as a son of God.
The word that is preached to us is the word of faith that is birthing us again as sons of God. It is breaking in upon our lives, our marriages, and families, to establish us in our predestination as part of God’s family. Necessary for the accomplishment of this purpose, is our deliverance from condemnation. This condemnation, or judgement, is manifest in our lives as the fruit of living and walking according to our own desires as we endeavour to fulfil the lusts of our flesh.
The word of faith that is now in our mouth is producing the fruit of righteousness in our life, in our relationships, and in our hearers. This is the fruit of peace. It is delivering us from our anxieties as we receive abundant life from Christ. The word of the Lord is sent to us continually, for the whole of our life and pilgrimage, while we live on this earth.

But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’; that is, the word of faith which we preach.
