What does the Bible say about faith and hearing?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that faith comes by hearing, specifically the Word of God being preached (Romans 10:17).

In Romans 10:17, the Apostle Paul states that 'faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This highlights the sovereignty of God in the act of faith, indicating that faith is a gift from God, granted through the proclamation of His Word. Just as Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, heard the miraculous deeds of God in delivering Israel, so too does the gospel come alive in the hearts of men when they are exposed to the truth of God's Word. It emphasizes that true faith is not merely about the intellectual agreement to religious facts, but about an internal transformation wrought by the Holy Spirit through the hearing of the gospel.
