How do we know faith is a work of God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is a gift from God, evidenced by the transformative work of Christ within us, not merely a product of human effort.

In the context of sovereign grace theology, faith is recognized as a divine gift rather than a human achievement. Ephesians 2:8-9 underscores that salvation is by grace through faith, a faith that is not of ourselves but is given by God. This perspective emphasizes that true faith produces a new nature, manifesting in belief and obedience. Just as Abraham’s trust in God was not based on human reasoning but on divine revelation, so true faith today reflects the inner work of the Holy Spirit within a believer, enabling them to trust in God's promises and His character.
