HEARING SUMMONS: Faith comes by hearing, and hearing [comes] by the word of God.
Whatever you listen to FAITH-fully ultimately builds and develops a faith covenant between you and it. Whenever it "summons" you, you will answer (e.g. answering a judicial 'summons' for a court 'hearing').
Likewise, a sheep knows its shepherd's voice and will not answer another. When Jesus, The Great Shepherd summons his sheep [followers, believers] and they respond accordingly, they do so not because of his role as Shepherd, but rather his identity as the Living Logos (Jn 1:1-5). Hence, faith comes by hearing, and hearing [comes] by the Logos (Word/Son) of God (Rom. 10:17). Other than this holy summons, we are not hearing the Logos, but merely listening ("He who has an ear, let him hear... Mark 4:9).
What or who is summoning you? What has ushered you into a covenant of faith without your knowledge? Is money, drugs, food, sex or power summoning you continuously? And lastly, how are you answering?
"It keeps calling me, and calling me..." (Chris Rock - drug addict; 'New Jack City').
