How does God bring faith through preaching?

Answered in 1 source

God brings faith through preaching by using the spoken Word, attended by the Holy Spirit to illuminate hearts.

Faith is not generated by human effort but through the divine orchestration of God in preaching. Romans 10:17 states that faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. This highlights that the preached Word, when accompanied by the Spirit's power, causes sinners to see their need for a Savior and to trust in Christ. As preachers uphold the truth of the Gospel, the Spirit applies that truth, giving life and understanding to the hearers, confirming that it is by grace alone they are saved.
