So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
All Commentaries on Romans 10:17 Go To Romans 10
John of Damascus
AD 749
Faith comes by hearing, because when we hear the holy Scriptures we believe in the teaching of the Holy Spirit. This faith is made perfect by all the things which Christ has ordained; it believes truly, it is devout and it keeps the commandments of him who has renewed us. For he who does not believe in accordance with the traditions of the catholic church or who through untoward works holds communion with the devil is without faith.
