Does this mean faith only comes from reading the Bible?

Romans 10:17 emphasizes Scripture as the primary foundation for faith. While God speaks through many ways, His written Word is the reliable, unchanging source we can always return to and trust.

What if I struggle to understand what I'm reading?

Start with shorter passages or portions you find easier to grasp. Consider using a study Bible, listening to audio versions, or discussing Scripture with others. God honors your effort to hear His Word, even when understanding comes slowly.

How often should I be in God's Word to build strong faith?

There's no magic number, but consistency matters more than length. Daily engagement—even 5-10 minutes—will deepen your faith more than occasional longer sessions. Find a rhythm that fits your life and stick with it.

Faith Grows When We Listen

Anchor

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

— Romans 10:17 (NIV)

What it means

Paul teaches us that faith isn't something we're born with—it develops as we hear God's Word. When we listen to Scripture, read it, study it, and let it sink into our hearts, our trust in God naturally grows stronger. Faith comes through exposure to God's truth.

In your life

Think about how you learn to trust anyone—through spending time with them and hearing their words. The same is true with God. When you regularly read the Bible, listen to sermons, or study Scripture with others, you're building a relationship with God that deepens your faith. Every time you open God's Word, you're feeding the faith that sustains you.
