I agree with the above. I also believe it's from His faith that we get the faith to believe in Him. It is from "faith to faith". He had faith that the Father would raise Him from the dead and we too were raised from the dead with Christ.
Our faith is sourced in His faith.
Romans 1:16-17 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
[SUP]17[/SUP] For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
Faith comes from the hearing of Christ.
Romans 10:17 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Jesus is the author and finisher of faith. Hebrews 12:2
