How do we obtain faith according to the Bible?

The Bible teaches that faith is not a natural human capacity but rather a divine gift. Romans 10:17 states that 'faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,' indicating that faith originates from God and is cultivated through the preaching of His Word. This gift of faith is imparted by God's grace, enabling individuals to believe the Gospel. The preaching of the Word connects God’s truth with the hearts of His people, resulting in the miraculous gift of faith that enables them to trust in Christ for salvation. Without this divine intervention, no one could come to faith on their own.
