Q191. Does faith come only through hearing?
It is usually born through the preached Word, but once it is born, it grows in several ways. It grows through prayer. It grows through fellowship with other Christians. It grows through reading. It grows through meditation. It grows through remembering past experiences of God's faithfulness.
