How does faith come according to the Bible?

Answered in 37 sources

Faith comes by hearing the word of God, as Romans 10:17 explains, highlighting the necessity of preaching the gospel.

The origin of faith is articulated in Romans 10:17, which states, 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.' This reveals that faith is not an isolated act but is intricately connected to the proclamation of the gospel. The hearing of God’s word, preached faithfully, is instrumental in awakening faith in the hearts of men. This means that the ministry of preaching the gospel is fundamental to the church, as it is through this preaching that God chooses to reveal His gospel and impart faith. Thus, believers are called not only to believe but also to ensure the gospel is preached, so others may hear and come to faith.
