The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.

no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him

Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—
What God has arranged for those who love him.
