Where does “saving faith” come from? Faith is developed through learning the truths of God's word (Rom. 10:17). But why do some people hear those truths and become Christians while other people hear the same truths and not obey them? Why do some Christians become dedicated and fervent in their faith, while other Christians are lukewarm, spiritually weak and only haphazardly dedicated? Do some people simply understand God's word better than others? Do some Christians become stronger in their faith because they've learned more scripture than others? No, neither is truly the case.
