Romans 10:17 states, 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.'
The doctrine that faith comes from hearing is grounded in Romans 10:17: 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.' This emphasizes that our faith is not a product of our own efforts or understanding, but rather it is initiated and nurtured through the hearing of God's word. The preaching of the Gospel is a divinely ordained means through which God imparts faith to His people. Therefore, the act of truly hearing the word is not merely auditory but involves receiving and accepting the truth of the Gospel in our hearts, transforming our lives.
