What does the Bible say about faith coming by hearing?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that faith comes by hearing the word of God, specifically the true gospel concerning Christ.

Romans 10:17 states, 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This verse emphasizes the necessity of hearing the true gospel for the gift of faith to be received. It is not merely about hearing any message, but specifically the message of God as revealed in Scripture. Faith is a divine gift that comes when God’s elect hear the true reporting of the gospel, enabling them to believe and respond to it, demonstrating the importance of sound doctrine and the means of grace ordained by God for salvation.
