What does the Bible mean by 'hearing of faith'?

Answered in 1 source

'Hearing of faith' refers to the reception of the gospel that proclaims God's grace and Christ's work in salvation.

'Hearing of faith' is a phrase used in Galatians 3:2 that highlights the idea that faith comes from hearing the gospel. It emphasizes that our ability to believe is not a result of our industriousness but of God's revelation through the preaching of Christ’s faithfulness. This includes recognizing Christ's work on our behalf, which continues to be the foundation for our trust as believers. Without this hearing and understanding, we cannot grasp the magnitude of God's grace, which serves as our motivation for both justification and ongoing sanctification.
