Romans 10:17 says “Faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.” This suggests that faith does not originate from visual appreciation but by audio. It further explains that faith does not rest in vacuum, but in Christ. These are the two cardinal principles which rest our faith, anything else is a sham.
