How do Christians obtain their faith?

Answered in 1 source

Christians obtain their faith through God's grace and the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

According to 2 Peter 1:1, believers 'have obtained like precious faith' through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. This emphasizes that faith is a gift from God, not a product of human effort or decision. It is through God's sovereign will that individuals are chosen and given faith, aligning with Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This understanding assures us that our faith is grounded in Christ's righteousness, rendering it invaluable and certain.
