So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10;17
Hebrews 1:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen
were not made of things which are visible.

it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder
of those who diligently seek Him.
James 1:5,6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who
gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,
for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
Romans 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who
justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
Ro 5:1,2 Therefore, having
been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have access
by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’

faith to faith; as it is written, “The
just shall live by faith.”
Ro 3:22-26 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ,
to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God, 24being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God
set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance
God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness,
that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
