Romans 10:17 in Other Translations 17 So
Faith Comes By Hearing the Word of God—Romans 10:17. We all have faith in something, but what our faith is in depends on what or who we're listening to.

Faith does not come from us but it is the grace of God that He has given us faith so that we will be able to place our faith in Jesus, our salvation. Also, as God placed faith in us, we have to also learn how God and through what way He was able to plant faith inside us and how He increases it.

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
