What does the Bible say about faith coming from hearing?

Answered in 2 sources

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

The Bible emphasizes that faith is not a self-generated quality, but one that comes through the hearing of the Word of God. Romans 10:17 clearly states, 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This underscores the significance of preaching and gospel proclamation as the means through which God imparts faith to the hearts of His people. In God's sovereign plan, faith is birthed and nurtured through the faithful ministry of His Word.

Throughout biblical history, God has raised up chosen vessels to proclaim His gospel. Just as Elijah trained Elisha, and Paul prepared Timothy for ministry, the continuity of preaching the gospel is essential for the growth and salvation of believers. It is through this means that God has chosen to bring life to those who listen and believe. The true preacher, sent by God, serves as a conduit of grace, whereby the message of Christ crucified brings eternal life to the hearts of those who hear it.
