How do we know that faith comes through hearing?

Answered in 2 sources

Romans 10:17 affirms that 'faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ,' highlighting the necessity of Scripture for faith development.

The Apostle Paul underscores the vital relationship between hearing and faith in Romans 10:17, where he states, 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.' This passage illustrates that true faith is not born from mere human effort or understanding but is a divinely orchestrated response to the proclamation of God's Word. Hearing the Gospel, which articulates the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, is essential because it introduces individuals to the reality of their need for salvation and the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice. This process of hearing and responding in faith ensures that believers are grounded in the truth rather than assumptions or tradition.
