How do we know that faith comes from hearing God?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 10:17 teaches that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The Apostle Paul makes it clear in Romans 10:17 that faith is fundamentally auditory; it comes by hearing the word of God. This suggests that genuine faith arises from an engagement with God's revelation. For Noah, it was God's direct warning that urged him to act, as he had never before seen a flood or destruction. This acts as a model for believers today: faith requires us to listen to God's word, preached and written, which is centered on Christ, the ultimate revelation of God.

In the context of the sermon, this principle is crucial as it emphasizes the clarity with which God communicates His will and the necessity of divine revelation for the development of faith. The writer of Hebrews underscores this in the entire epistle, asserting that neglecting Christ, who is the perfect word of God, leads to spiritual peril.
