Either you Believe or you do not

What do you do with a report? You either believe it or you don't, there is no middle ground. Likewise, you hear the good news of Christ; the report of what Christ has done. You either believe the report or do not. Faith comes by hearing. You cannot believe something you have not heard before. Now if your wife is sick and she tells you, you either believe her or you do not. Perhaps if you do believe her then this entails that you go buy medicine. By faith alone do we work. Of course the difference between the species of faith is the object.
