Romans 10:17, it says, "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing, by the Word of God."

Christ gave us the gift of faith when we received Him. We must hear the Word of God. The best way to hear it is to say it out loud as we go throughout the day. Also, meditate on it and visualize ourselves in the Word. It is Christ's faith in us, not our own faith, that we take up and use.
