When I was a child, the church and my family told me Jesus was the Son of God, and I believed them.
They told me He was sinless and I believed them.
They told me He died for my sins, and I believed them.
They told me He rose from the dead and I believed them.
I just took everyone's word for it, but I had never taken God's word for it. Then one day, I decided to believe God instead of everybody else. It was then that I was saved!

Makes me think of this passage in John 4
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
In any case, "faith comes by hearing the word of God".
AMEN and AMEN!
