Sep 25, 2012 · And our spiritual life begins by the word of God: “Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth” ( James 1:18 ). “You have been born again . . . through the living and abiding word of God” ( 1 Peter 1:23 ).

However, the rest of the verse says, ". . . and hearing by the word of God." This relates directly to faith.
