What does the Bible say about the faith of the centurion?

Answered in 2 sources

The faith of the centurion is praised by Jesus as the greatest faith found in Israel, demonstrating profound belief in Christ's authority.

In Luke 7:1-10, the centurion's faith is highlighted when he acknowledges his unworthiness while believing that Jesus could heal his servant with just a word. Jesus marvels at his faith, stating that He has not found such great faith in Israel. This illustrates that true faith recognizes one’s unworthiness and relies entirely on Christ's power and promise, aligning with the biblical understanding that salvation is by grace through faith, not works.
