So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
— Romans 10:17 (KJV)
True belonging in God's kingdom requires adopting the posture of a needy child. Instead of relying on self-sufficiency, pride, or worldly riches, believers are called to embrace a spirit of total dependence on Christ. Using the example of a rich man who struggled to surrender his possessions, the message highlights how idols can blind us to our spiritual condition. Ultimately, salvation is not earned through human effort but is a divine work of grace. By humbly receiving from God and supporting one another in faith, followers find a new, eternal security that transcends worldly loss.
