A proof might provide rationalism cause for psychological certainty, but that is discernibly different than faith and belief. Faith is a system of spiritual perception, just as our five bodily senses might be used in empirical thinking, or as logic might be used in rational thinking. Empiricism and rationalism are void, though, when it comes to providing what God provides to us in Faith.

The Bible is used to express the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

Of course, I will have to take it on your word that this is indeed so, since you have absolutely zero proof that this is indeed so.
