How do believers receive faith according to the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

Believers receive faith as a gift from God, not by their own merit or efforts.

The sermon emphasizes that faith is not a product of human effort but is given by God. Rahab's faith was a result of hearing about the Lord's deeds, which led to her confession and subsequent action (Romans 10:17). Just like Abraham, who believed God’s promise through divine revelation, Rahab’s faith was instilled by God’s prevenient grace, which prepares hearts to receive His truth. This underscores the Biblical doctrine that faith, as a gift from God, is essential for salvation, highlighting the sovereign grace of God in granting belief to whom He wills.
