What does the Bible say about faith according to Matthew 15?

Answered in 1 source

Matthew 15 depicts faith as a response to God's grace, as shown by the Canaanite woman's great faith in Jesus.

In Matthew 15, the passage illustrates the profound nature of faith through the encounter between Jesus and the Canaanite woman. She recognizes Jesus as the Son of David and appeals to Him for mercy regarding her daughter. The Lord's response to her faith highlights that true faith is a gift from God, as He later commends her for it, saying, 'O woman, great is thy faith' (Matthew 15:28). This interaction not only reflects her firm belief in Jesus' authority but also serves as a demonstration of how God ordains faith in the hearts of His chosen people.
