How do we know that faith comes from hearing the Word of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Romans 10:17 states that 'faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God', confirming the necessity of the gospel for faith.

The process of faith is intrinsically linked to the proclamation of God's Word. In Romans 10:17, Paul explicitly connects the act of hearing the gospel with the emergence of faith. This indicates that God uses the preaching of the gospel as the means through which He imparts faith to His chosen elect. Divine revelation through scripture and preaching is essential, as those who reject it face severe consequences. The gospel serves not only as an announcement of grace but as the instrument through which God brings His chosen to Himself, enabling them to hear the good news and respond in faith.
