Faith -What Does the Bible Say?

How Can You Acquire Faith?

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS 

"Faith follow the thing heard," says the Bible.  (Romans 10:17)  So the first step toward building faith in God is to 'hear' what the Bible really teaches about him.  (2 Timothy 3:16) Studying the Bible will help you to find solid answers to important questions, including:  Who is God?  What evidence is there of his existence?  Does God really care about me?  What is God's purpose for the future?

Jehovah's Witnesses would be happy to help you study the Bible.  As stated on our website, jw.org.  Jehovah's Witnesses love teaching people about the Bible, but we never force anyone to become a member of our religion.  Rather, we respectfully present what the Bible says, recognizing that each person has the right to choose what he or believe." 

In the final analysis, your faith must be based on evidence that you observe as you weigh the truthfulness of what you read in the Bible.  In that way, you will follow the example of first-century students who "accepted the word wit the greatest eagerness of mind,  carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." -Acts 17:11.
